Document Summary
Long-term consequences link to between threats to social identity and poor mental health (e. g. , depression, anxiety), poor physical health (e. g. , obesity, hypertension), unhealthy behaviors (e. g. , ignoring medical advice, drug use). 1: stereotype threat does not always spill over and cause havoc in a wide variety of domains, spillover effect is not inevitable, but can be overcome with things like active coping, social support, and the cultivation of resilience. If cues that confirm stereotype relevance are present in the environment, of it individuals are sensitive to discrimination, they may make threat appraisals, setting in motion a chain of stress and coping responses. Inzlicht & kang (2010) stereotype threat can lead to aggression, overeating, risky decision making, and problems maintaining attention. In their first study, inzlicht & kang (2010) examined whether coping with stereotype threat could lead to aggressive behaviour among women.
