Toni Schmader on Emotions - Dictionary of Arguments
Haslam I 252 Emotion/stereotype threat/Forbes/Schmader: (…) stereotype threat also increases emotion regulation efforts as the person attempts to push negative thoughts and feelings out of mind (Johns et al., 2008(1); Logel et al., 2009(2); Schmader et al., 2009(3); Wraga et al., 2007(4)). If individuals’ experience of anxiety is normalized so that it is not interpreted as a sign of failure, this tendency to suppress anxiety under stereotype threat is reduced and performance improves (Johns et al., 2005(5); Johns et al., 2008(6)). >Method/Forbes/Schmader. 1.
