RESEARCH METHODS
Method
Studying stereotype threats through the use of social surveys remains different
from the use of laboratory procedures. In other words, on surveys, people cannot
manipulate the level or degree of a threat directly; however, they are forced to tap into
the variations regarding the psychological state evident. To this effect, survey research
will be assumed as one of the less internally valid methods of the experiments. The
research will primarily use a quantitative research model to respond to its objective. To
achieve this, the study will rely on multiple-group structural equation modeling (SEM) to
investigate the study's hypothesis (Yamashita, 2022). From a border perspective, the
SEM analysis will allow the research study to consider the measurement properties that
will serve as the underlying indicators used in examining the theoretical constructs,
including academic performance, internalization and externalization of academic
performance, disidentification and disidentification, and performance burden of
stereotypes, and lower grades. Multiple-group SEM model will be used to determine
how the model fits with the regression paths in each of these constructs.
Participants
This study will primarily seek to underpin the impact of stereotype threat in the
United States on the education performance of African American Community High
School-Going, Children in Georgia. To meet the study's objectives, data will be collected
from the National Longitudinal Survey of Freshmen (NLSF), a stratified sample
population of 2500 high-school-going children in the United States between 2019 and
2021. The students will be interviewed through an in-person process during the fall of
2
the freshman year that helped collect retrospective data regarding the stereotypical
threats and educational and social experiences of the learners in high school (Minhas et
al., 2016). The students will subsequently be interviewed by phone to determine their
social and academic experiences and how stereotyping of the learners affects their
performances. Data will then be gathered through baseline surveys projected to provide
a response rate of 96%. The research primarily selected the African American
community high school-going children in Georgia who will serve as the stigmatized
minorities from the stereotyping threat. For comparison, the study will follow a structural
model that will provide a basis to compare the data with the white students. Multiple
imputations of the collected data sets will be used in dealing with the responses, a
factor that will yield the final sample population (Minhas et al., 2016). Comparison of the
population of stereotyped black students will then be estimated against white learners.
A quantitative analysis method will then be used to synthesize the collected data.
Apparatus/Materials
The research study will make use of surveys in the collection of data from the
research respondents. Data will then be gathered through baseline surveys projected to
provide a response rate of 96%. To meet the study's objectives, data will be collected
from the National Longitudinal Survey of Freshmen (NLSF), a stratified sample
population of 2500 high-school-going children in the United States between 2019 and
2021. The research primarily selected the African American community high school-
going children in Georgia who will serve as the stigmatized minorities from the
stereotyping threat (Li & Liu, 2020). A regression analysis will be used to analyze the
data before their analysis. The research will further use racial-ethnic identifiers in
3
measuring how the population group's identities significantly influence the
externalization and internationalization of the prospects of negative stereotyping.
Procedure
Given that structural relationships, as provided in the case of this study, rely on
conventional regression paths widely estimated through the use of maximum likelihood
models, the use of SEM will play a critical role in making assumptions in the study. The
research will conduct preliminary steps to test whether the latent variables provide an
efficient and accurate modeling method. The first step will conduct tests on each
indicator to determine if they fit the latent stereotypes threat that serves as a construct.
This will play a critical role in determining if a fit may improve each additional indicator.
On the other hand, the research study will equally test the sufficiency assigned to each
indicator within a provided latent construct by examining the significance and the
magnitude of the factors loading (Axinn et al., 2021). To achieve this, the research
relied on the use of separate measurement models and instruments in the estimation of
externalization, internalization, academic efforts, and academic performance burdens of
the groups. Following the validation of the measurement models to determine their
validity and reliability, a comparison of the outcomes will be summed through the
indices used over the past. Upon completion, an estimate of the multiple-group SEM
model will be conducted to determine if the model will identify the intergroup differences
that result in stereotype threats. The final models in both groups will be estimated to
determine the intergroup differences.
