abstract="Research suggests student performance may be negatively influenced by stereotype threat, &quot;being at risk of confirming, as self-characteristic, a negative stereotype about one's group&quot; (Steele and Aronson in J Personal Soc Psychol 69(5):797, 1995). However, studies have also found that educating students about stereotype threat and the nature of intelligence can attenuate its effects. This paper explored whether a brief intervention could improve performance and attitudes for 109 at-risk students in a large urban school. <br><br>RESULTS found the intervention did not result in statistically significant differences in grades, or increases in student beliefs about their ability to succeed in school. Educational implications are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
