1. Healthcare Application: Stereotype Threat??
Healthcare Application: Stereotype Threat?? ON Healthcare Application: Stereotype
Threat??Stereotype or social identity threat can be construed as an internal, cognitive state
in which the individual is aware of negative stereotypes against his or her group and which
can impact individual thoughts and/or behavior (Aronson & McGlone, 2009, p. 154).
Considerable research demonstrates that stereotype threat can impact recipient behavior
and can be destructive in relationships and in one’s personal view of him- or herself.
Despite the prevalence and potential detrimental effects of stereotype threat, there are
ways to decrease stereotype threat, including, but not limited to, reframing ability, use of
role models, and self-affirmation. Healthcare Application: Stereotype Threat??For this
Application Assignment, analyze stereotype threat and the conditions necessary for this
type of threat to occur. Consider ways you might remediate a stereotype
threat.Reference: Aronson, J., & McGlone, M. S. (2009). Stereotype and social identity threat.
