Document Summary

Males told that they are working with female or male on project (all worked with females, but were told that it was actually a male) Partner was able to pick the project. When told they were working with female, and were told they were working with a female, they thought partner acted feminine; for part 2, the female partner chose feminine task (control) The other group who were told they were working with males, but it was female, they rated partner more masculine, and partner picked more masculine task. Dependent variable: told whether working with male/female. Concluded we have expectations that pull out that behavior. Females are bad at math, if we are presented with math problem, we worry that we will fail and confirm this threat: ex. Steele and aronson (1995)- gave white and black stanford students verbal gre test questions told half participants that this was a test of intelligence.
