“No Strong Evidence of Stereotype Threat in Females: A Reassessment of the Meta-Analysis”, 2021-11-29 (; similar):
Recently, Picho-2021 published a meta-analysis on the effect of stereotype threat on females. Their conclusion was that the average effect size for stereotype threat studies was d = 0.28, but that effects are overstated because the majority of studies on stereotype threat in females include methodological characteristics that inflate the apparent effect size.
In this response, I show that Picho- et al 2021 committed fundamental errors in their meta-analysis that undermine confidence in the article and warrant major corrections. But even if the data were not flawed, the conclusion that Picho- should have reached is that their results are most consistent with a population effect size of zero. There is no compelling evidence that stereotype threat is a real phenomenon in females.
