More exciting work from @DelaTotonchi and our Motivate Lab team!

Delighted to share this pub with my mentors & colleagues at ODU, MSU, Sookmyung Women's University, & McGill University. BIPOC students experience increases in stereotype threat over time which impacts their STEM motivation & outcomes. Free access authors.elsevier.com/a/1dnXf…
