Do gender stereotype threats have a spillover effect on motor tasks among children? A mixed-model design investigation.
The stereotype threat effect has captivated social and sports psychology researchers for over two decades. However, many questions remain unanswered. This research was designed to explore the spillover effects of stereotype threat in motor tasks. A mixed model design with within-between-subjects was...

However, many questions remain unanswered. This research was designed to explore the spillover effects of stereotype threat in motor tasks. A mixed model design with within-between-subjects was utilized, with soccer performance and throwing scores serving as the dependent variables. Forty-two 10-year-old girls without mental or physical disabilities participated in the study and were randomly assigned into two groups: stereotype threat (ST) and nullified stereotype threat (NST). After measuring baseline performance in throwing and soccer tasks, the participants in the ST group received soccer-based stereotype induction. Afterwards, they performed 20 trials of soccer shooting. Half an hour later, the children were asked to perform 10 throws with the non-dominant hand. Our results indicated that inducing soccer-based stereotypes towards girls led to underperformance in soccer, however, this negative effect did not spill over onto subsequent task (i.e., throwing) which was unrelated to the induced stereotype. Our finding regarding the stereotype threat spillover effect is novel and provides more insight into the range of effects of stereotype threat within the motor domain. The findings encourage the researcher to practice caution regarding the generalizability of the stereotype threat spillover effect, especially in motor tasks. • We investigated the spillover effects of stereotype threat in motor tasks. • Inducing soccer-based stereotypes towards girls led to underperformance in soccer. • The negative effects of soccer-based stereotypes did not spill over onto the subsequent throwing task. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
