Espinoza 1 “The Implications of Threatening Environment on Intellectual Processing” is the title of the topic I chose from the Journal of Education Psychology website, in the paper abstract portion of the site. The question that the authors posit is “Do High-Achieving Female Students Under perform in Private?” The authors of the article, Michael Inzlicht (New York University) and Talia Ben-Zeev (San Francisco State University), undertook a selective investigation on the processes of intellectual processing with respect to females in the private academic environment. My individual reasons for choosing this topic, besides the obvious wealth of scientific data the study would produce, can be narrowed down to two main reasons. The first and foremost reason why I chose the aforementioned topic was because the study that the topic is based on is one which exams how stereotypes can negatively affect females in, specifically, a private setting. What makes this so interesting for me is that the study can be broadly expanded to include minorities. Minorities who attend academic institutions of higher learning are more likely to be labeled a respective stereotype by others. This sort of labeling can understandably cause the victims to question their place in the academic world. Women, just like minorities, can sympathize with the struggle and hardships that can come along not only in an academic setting, but also including the business and household settings.
