TL;DR: Objects can come to broadcast stereotypes of a group, which in turn can deter people who do not identify with these stereotypes from joining that group, as demonstrated in four studies.

TL;DR: Using police officers and undergraduates as participants, the authors suggest that some associations between social groups and concepts are bidirectional and operate as visual tuning devices--producing shifts in perception and attention of a sort likely to influence decision making and behavior.

TL;DR: Controlling for a wide array of factors, it is found that in cases involving a White victim, the more stereotypically Black a defendant is perceived to be, themore likely that person is to be sentenced to death.

TL;DR: This research demonstrates that people at risk of devaluation based on group membership are attuned to cues that signal social identity contingencies--judgments, stereotypes, opportunities, restrictions, and treatments that are tied to one's social identity in a given setting.

TL;DR: The authors found that women who viewed the stereotypic commercials indicated less interest in educational/vocational options in which they were susceptible to stereotype threat (i.e., quantitative domains) and more interest in fields in which women were immune to stereotype threats (e.g., verbal domains), and women taking an aptitude test in Study 2 to avoid math items in favor of verbal items.
