Purpose

One of the goals of various European Union (EU) organizations (i.e. Roma and non-Roma nonprofits) is the integration of Roma into the educational system. A challenge for the educational systems of EU countries, therefore, is to determine how to support the academic performance of Roma. Understanding the positive and negative factors related to Roma’s academic performance and achievement is an important first step in increasing academic success among this minority group.

Design/methodology/approach

A quantitative experimental design was used both online and face-to-face to examine whether stereotype threat had an influence on the academic performance of Roma in Slovakia and second, whether such threat was moderated by social identification and academic self-efficacy.

Findings

The results showed that stereotype threat does influence Roma in Slovakia and there were direct effects of social identity and academic self-efficacy on academic performance of the face-to-face participants.

Originality/value

Consistent with stereotype threat theory, to the best of authors’ knowledge, this research is the first to show that a stereotype threat did harm the academic performance of the face-to-face Roma sampled. Further, although many studies have examined stereotype threat effects on academic performance, little is known regarding whether social identification and academic self-efficacy have an influence on such threats. The results of the study show that social identification and academic self-efficacy had a significant direct influence on academic performance.

刻板印象威胁对斯洛伐克罗姆人学业成绩的影响：学业自我效能感和社会认同的作用

目的

各种欧盟 (EU) 组织（即罗姆人和非罗姆人非营利组织）的目标之一是将罗姆人融入教育系统。因此，欧盟国家教育系统面临的一个挑战是确定如何支持罗姆人的学业成绩。了解与罗姆人的学业成绩和成就相关的积极和消极因素是提高这一少数群体学业成功率的重要第一步。

设计/方法/方法

在线和面对面使用定量实验设计来检查刻板印象威胁是否对斯洛伐克罗姆人的学业成绩产生影响，其次，这种威胁是否受到社会认同和学业自我效能感的调节。

发现

结果表明，刻板印象威胁确实影响了斯洛伐克的罗姆人，社会认同和学业自我效能感对面对面参与者的学业成绩有直接影响。

原创性/价值

与刻板印象威胁理论一致，据作者所知，这项研究首次表明刻板印象威胁确实损害了所抽样的面对面罗姆人的学业成绩。此外，尽管许多研究已经研究了刻板印象威胁对学业成绩的影响，但关于社会认同和学业自我效能感是否对此类威胁产生影响知之甚少。研究结果表明，社会认同和学业自我效能感对学业成绩有显着的直接影响。
