1Cademy - Motivation of the Mindset and racial achievement gap Study

Concept

Motivation of the Mindset and racial achievement gap Study

The racial achievement gap might be due to subtle cues from professors
This can cause a student to be worried about being judged causing a decrease in performance
Hypothesis-fixed mindset faculty can demotivate URM students, causing an achievement gap between white/Asian students and URM
Hypothesis-fixed mindset faculty would lead to lower motivation amongst their students-aligns with stereotype threat theory (the idea that students are inhibited by preexisting stereotypes that are imposed upon them by society)
