Despite being a "model minority," Asian Americans are under-represented in senior-levels of management and leadership positions. Among a host of socio-cultural explanations for this "impenetrable glass ceiling," there may also be psychological explanations, such as stereotypes about Asian American leaders. The leadership literature cites the pervasive existence of negative stereotypes and the possibility of their influence on Asian Americans, but there is no known study to have empirically tested this research question. The goals of this study were to: (a) use the Stereotype Threat framework to examine the effect of negative leadership stereotype activation on Asian Americans' aspiration for leadership; (b) use the solo status framework to further explain how racial composition of the group may interact with stereotype threat; and (c) to examine individual difference moderators of stereotype threat. One hundred thirty-four undergraduates (102 Asian Americans, 32 Whites) from a southern California university participated in a study ostensibly about how managers and employees work together in business settings. Homogeneous-race or heterogeneous-race groups of Asian American and/or White participants were randomly assigned into either the Stereotype Threat (ST) or Control condition, in which Asian American leader stereotypes were or were not activated, respectively. As predicted, results of this study found racial differences in aspiration for leadership, which, on some outcomes was further qualified by condition and racial composition. Contrary to what ST theory would predict, Asian Americans in the ST heterogeneous condition showed greater aspiration for leadership, whereas Whites in the ST heterogeneous condition showed lower aspiration for leadership. Moreover, there was some evidence of reactance displayed by Asian Americans in the ST heterogeneous minority condition (i.e., solo status). Finally, individual differences such as self-esteem, openness, and independent self-construal were associated with lower tendency for stereotype fulfillment and greater aspiration for leadership among Asian Americans in the ST condition. Results imply that explicit activation of stereotypes interacts with racial composition to affect targeted and non-targeted groups differently. Theoretical interpretations of stereotype threat and reactance elucidate the effect of stereotype activation on Asian Americans in the context of leadership.
