BURNS, B.A., GRINNELL COLLEGE M.S., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST Directed by: Professor Linda M. Isbell It was hypothesized that women who were primed with malleable theories of intenigen( would be less likely to show stereotype threat effects in math performance than women who were not primed. Fifty-seven female participants completed a math and a verbal test, as well as measures of potential moderating and mediating variables. Stereotype threat effects were not found in this study, nor was there support for any of the moderators or mediators. While malleability did not affect actual test performance, it effectively reduced participants' test anxieties. Implications and possible reasons for these findings are discussed.Read More
