Whilst Asian women who were told how "Asians who were good at math & science" performed on average much better with theis type of positive priming, than they did with negative priming in un-related tests.

      ..."If, as I have been arguing, stigma is a cause of stress, then stigma as a way of life will turn out to be a cause of ill health. And the effect will be a direct consequence of stigma itself, not an indirect result of it. In other words, it will turn out that people on the bottom of spociety's hierarchies, who die younger and endure more illneses, will suffer because they pereceive themselves at the bottom - not just becasue they can't afford doctors or good food or safe housing.

  • The Implicit PrejudiceMahzarin Banaji can show how we connect "good" and "bad" with biased attitudes we hold, even if we say we don't. Especially when we say we don't
  • In one video clip, a team passed around a basketball. Of the 45 executives watching, just one noticed the woman who walked slowly right through the game, carrying an open white umbrella. After a few more examples, Banaji had convinced the audience that these kinds of mistakes in perception, or "mind bugs," operate all the time, especially in our unconscious responses to other people.
