<Li> The statement that "stereotype threat appears to be one key contributing factors (sic) to the gaps in test scores" is misleading at best . Steele's study on stereotype threat showed that when students are told their scores will be used to evaluate the abilities of their ethnic group, blacks, unlike whites, performed significantly worse than they did when they were not told this . However, in the absence of the stereotype threat, blacks scored worse than whites by the same degree that they would be expected to based on previous studies .

It is in no way a "key contributing factor" to the well - documented gaps in test scores.
