Adding Fuel to the Collective Fire: Stereotype Threat, Solidarity, and Support for Change
We hypothesize a yet-unstudied effect of experiencing systemic stereotype threat on women’s collective action efforts: igniting women’s support for other women and motivation to improve organizational gender balance.

Studies 1 and 2 …
