TL;DR: Four studies test the hypothesis that first-generation students underperform because interdependent norms from their mostly working-class backgrounds constitute a mismatch with middle-class independent norms prevalent in universities and address the urgent need to recognize cultural obstacles that contribute to the social class achievement gap.

TL;DR: Seven studies show the effect of identity-based motivation on health, the process by which content of social identities influences beliefs about in-group goals and strategies in racial-ethnic minority participants.

TL;DR: Oyserman et al. as mentioned in this paper found that the content of possible self and the existence of strategies to attain these self-concepts is predictive of academic attainment and delinquent involvement.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the consequences of American Indian mascots and other prevalent representations of American Indians on aspects of the self-concept for American Indian students and found that exposure to American Indians mascots, such as Chief Wahoo, Chief Illinwek, Pocahontas, or other common American Indian images, resulted in depressed state self-esteem.

TL;DR: The theoretical foundation of the sociocultural self model lays the groundwork for a more complete understanding of behavior and provides new tools for developing interventions that will reduce social class disparities in health and education.
