Study: stereotypes hold back women, Blacks but not Asians [edit]
A paper led by authors Sarah-Jane Leslie of Princeton Leslie and Cimpian found that only the field-specific ability beliefs hypothesis, unlike the three competitors, is able to predict gender differences across all of academia, as well as differences for other similarly underrepresented groups, such as African Americans. "We found academic fields that emphasized the need for raw brilliance were more likely to endorse the claim that women are less well suited than men to be top scholars in the field, "says Cimpian," and further that such fields are less welcoming to women.", but this pattern did not appear among Asian Americans
