Created by Dr. Daniel Jones, CILMAR, Purdue University, based on the following:

 

Schmader, T., Hall, W., & Croft, A. (2015). Stereotype threat in intergroup relations. In M. Mikulincer, P. R. Shaver, J. F. Dovidio, & J. A. Simpson (Eds.), APA handbooks in psychology®. APA handbook of personality and social psychology, Vol. 2. Group processes (p. 447–471). American Psychological Association. https://doi.org/10.1037/14342-017

It is recommended to consult with an Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) expert on implementing this activity.

An additional way of entering this activity would be to locate and show a video clip, possibly from a fiction film or TV series, in which stereotype threat is demonstrated.
