Breaking free of stereotype threat with Claude Steele | Re:Thinking with Adam Grant

The TED Audio Collective is a collection of podcasts for the curious.
Claude Steele is one of the most influential social psychologists of all time. As a Stanford professor, he’s best known for his groundbreaking research on how the threat of being stereotyped undermines our performance. Adam talks with Claude about why the mere possibility of being stereotyped affects us, how we can protect ourselves from the harmful effects, and what healthy self-affirmation looks like.

It would be really nice to get transcripts other than those automated by Google.

The self-affirmation described here does not work if someone also suffers from impostor syndrome.
