Delving deeper into the lasting effects of stereotype threat, authors of the article “Contending with Stereotype Threat at Work: A Model of Long-Term Responses” focus on demographics such as women and people of color being misrepresented in the general workplace. With little research conducted on the long-term effects of stereotype threats, specifically to women and minorities, using intellectual theories the authors collaborate to discuss what some of the long-term effects of this threat could potentially be. This “model” they develop takes into account theories stemming from social, organizational, and counseling psychology. With additional evidence from short-term studies aimed to provide results on stereotype threat, the authors are able to predict the outcome if the data were to continue onward, marking evidence of long-term effects. Examining the positive and negative outcomes further allow this model to be rather subjective towards the idea that there are certainly some consequences to this threat being perceived the general workplace.
