Lindsay hopes to gain admission to graduate school to become a chemical engineer, and needs to take the graduate record exams (g

re) in physics and chemistry as part of her application. although she has gotten excellent grades in both chemistry and physics in college, when she enters the room for her physics test she can't help but notice that almost all of the students taking the test are male, and she is only one of a handful of female students. according to research by claude steele, what might be the effect of lindsay's awareness that she is vastly outnumbered by male students?

The answer would most probably be, <span>Her score on the exam will probably be lower than it would be if she was less aware of her gender identity.

Claude Steele</span> is the twenty-first Provost of Columbia University, as well as a Professor of Psychology. <span>Dr. Steele is best known for his work on stereotype threat and its application to minority student academic performance. His earlier work dealt with research on the self (e.g., self-image, self-affirmation) as well as the role of self-regulation in addictive behaviors.</span>

Claude Mason Steele is an African-American social psychologist. He is best known for his work on stereotype threat and its application to minority student academic performance. Throughout his academic career his work focused on three main domain of research in subject areas of social psychology, stereotype threat, self-affirmation and addictive behaviors. The above-mentioned case falls under stereotype threat which occurs when people are at risk for living up to a negative stereotype about their group. Lindsay, though has good grades in Chemistry and Physics, is in the verge of getting a low grade or worse fail her Physics exam thinking that she is outnumbered by male graduate school examiners. To better understand stereotype threat, the following are its impact on people's behavior: reduced effort - fear resulting to reduced effort to make an excuse to failure;disengaging - being not good at something will make the person to disengage in that area;and changing aspirations and career goals. However, there also ways to reduce stereotype threat and they are as follows: providing role models - observing and following role models are motivation; encouraging self-affirmation; and emphasizing motivation and effort. Although stereotype threat is a significant concern in vulnerable individuals (people like Lindsay), following the aforementioned steps in reducing stereotype threat may reduced it. In Lindsay's case, she can choose to perform less, that is getting low score/grades in Physics (reduced effort) or she can choose to be better and get the best score she can (encouraging self-affirmation or emphasizing motivation and effort).

If psychologists discovered that more intelligent parents tend to have more intelligent children than less intelligent parents d
arsen [322]

the intelligence of parents and children is positively correlated

This would demonstrate that the intelligence of parents and children is positively correlated.

<h3>Can intellect be genetically handed down?</h3>
  • Previous studies have demonstrated the strong hereditary influences on IQ and even identified specific genes that are involved.
  • They have also demonstrated the genetic influences on academic success.

<h3>What percentage of intelligence is inherited?</h3>
  • The most significant outcomes in terms of education, employment, and health are predicted by intelligence more accurately than by any other trait.
  • The 20% of the 50% heritability of IQ that is accounted for by inherited genome sequence variants has been successfully found in recent genome-wide association studies.

<h3>Is intelligence inherited or acquired?</h3>
  • Intelligence is a complex attribute that is impacted by both inherited and environmental influences, like the majority of elements of human behavior and cognition.
  • The fact that intelligence can be defined and assessed in several ways makes it difficult to examine.

<h3>In psychology, what is the term heredity of intelligence?</h3>
  • (i) From roughly 20% in early childhood to possibly 80% in later adulthood, the heritability of intelligence increases.
  • (ii) Intelligence accounts for the hereditary influences on a variety of cognitive and learning abilities, which correlate genetically at a level of 0.60 or higher but often correlate phenotypically at a level of 0.30.

How many senators does it take to confirm a supreme court justice.
Vitek1552 [10]
The Constitution does not set any qualifications for service as a Justice, thus the President may nominate any individual to serve on the Court. Senate cloture rules historically required a two-thirds affirmative vote to advance nominations to a vote; this was changed to a three-fifths supermajority in 1975.
