The Featured Study suggests that stereotype vulnerability impairs minority group members' test performance, indicating that they are more susceptible to the negative effects of racial stereotypes. The study does not suggest that minority group members perform lower on tests in all circumstances, nor does it show that the effects of stereotype vulnerability are greatest for white students.
