Abstract
Across a series of studies, the present research documents instances of stereotype threat perseverance, where negative effects of stereotype threat persist beyond an initial threatening experience. In Studies 1-3, math identified women under stereotype threat showed immediate and long-term (one week to one year) negative effects on math efficacy, performance, and gender identification. In Study 4, Black premed students who completed a stressful interview task under stereotype threat were more likely, a week later, to perceive racial discrimination in their day-to-day lives. Together, these results suggest that even single instantiations of threat can have lasting consequences, leading to stereotype threat perseverance over time, beyond the initial context in which they were first experienced.
