Dr. Julie Eyink discussed her research on "Self-handicapping in the face of uncertainty: The paradox that most certainly is."

We investigated if self-handicapping is more likely to occur when individuals lack or have their full contingent of mental resources. Results suggest that self-handicapping is a strategic behavior that occurs when individuals have the resources to monitor their own emotional states and situational contingencies, and to actively manipulate performance attributions.

Dr. Aimee Mark discussed her research project titled A Multi-Site Examination of Stereotype Threat in Black College Students Across Varying Operationalizations.

This study examines whether and under what conditions stereotype threat affects Black students in the United States. Stereotype threat occurs when negative stereotypes about one’s in-group impact one’s performance. USI is one of approximately 50 data collection sites nationwide with over a total of 1,700 Black participants (with a goal of 2,000) collected.
