Abstract | Since the 19th century and still today, persistent stereotypic beliefs about Blacks have portrayed them as athletically superior while intellectually inferior to Whites. In contrast, Whites have been portrayed as athletically inferior but intellectually superior to Blacks. These types of race-based stereotypic beliefs have present day implications for youth, such as imposing social and psychological burdens on performance and thus potentially reducing a student's ability to perform to her or his potential. Research that examines different ethnic groups' beliefs about theirs and others intellectual and athletic abilities is important to understanding how best to counter harmful stereotypes. Hence, more research is needed to better understand various ethnic groups' race-based stereotypic beliefs about theirs and the intellectual and athletic abilities of others. The purpose of this study was to compare the beliefs of Black, Hispanic, White, and biracial students on their own ("in-group") and the intellectual and athletic abilities of other ("out-group") ethnic groups. The central research question was what are the beliefs of Black, Hispanic, White, and biracial students on their own and the intellectual and athletic abilities of other ethnic groups. On that question, similar to other studies, this study's findings indicate that students from racially diverse backgrounds differ as a function of gender and ethnicity in their beliefs about in-group and out-group intellectual and athletic abilities.
