Tipsfolk, I'm reading the NEA's newsletter,* Higher Education Advocate*, and there is an article on stereotype threat and inclusivity. One tip that is given is "Something as simple as writing one's name on an exam can remind students of their gender, race, and/or ethnicity, so small procedural modifications can make a big difference." And, the article goes on to say--use a numerical coding system and other tips.
But, really? Does anyone know if there is evidence that stereotype threat is activated by writing one's name? Rob Rob Weisskirch, MSW.
