Gender-Math Stereotype Threat and Its Influential Factors of University Females Candidate: Yang Xiaoling Supervisor: Prof. Li Honghan Grade: 2007 Major: Developmental and Educational Psychology Orientation: Development of Personality Abstract Stereotype threat is a situational threat in which the individual in the areas of stereotype, fearing that they would verify their negative stereotype of their belonging group, leading to decline in the level of individual tasks and emotional experience associated with anxiety. Any individual in the context of negative stereotype is likely to experience stereotype threat, which has been confirmed in many areas of stereotype threat effect. Stereotype threat of gender-math widespreaded in female university students, which had a negative effect on their learning, especially math-related courses of study and mental health. In China, research on stereotype threat were not much concerned about the gender-subject stereotype threat and even less empirical research. This study focused on the following questions: (1) whether the gender-math stereotype is inherent in university students (especially the female students); (2) whether the framework of multi-threat is applicable to the research on stereotype threat in our culture; (3) whether the reconstruction of the “threat” to “challenge” can reduce or inhibit the stereotype threat and other issues.The research tested students’ implicit gender stereotypes in mathematics and explored the influent factors of stereotype threat using five experiments, in order to explore the ways to inhibit the stereotype threat. The results showed that: The implicit gender stereotype was detected, gender had no significant effect on SEB1 (stereotypic explanatory bias on female) and SEB2 (stereotypic explanatory bias on male), that was, the implicit gender stereotype detected by SEB had no gender differences. Stereotype identity (high, low) had a significant main effect on the math test, neither the test prope
