• Abstract:
  Stereotype threat is a situational phenomenon that arises during ability testing, when a negative stereotype about in-group ability is activated. This leads to stereotypical content assimilation and impairs task performance. The present study investigated the relation of stereotype threat experienced during mathematics lessons and mathematics achievement, as measured by school grades. Further, review of the literature about similarities between discrimination and learned helplessness indicated that learned helplessness acted as an important mediator between stereotype threat and school achievement. The results confirmed that learned helplessness mediated the relation between stereotype threat experience and mathematical achievement.
