   3 corrections applied: Shelby Steele was not a co-developer; the 1988 chapter appeared in Advances in Experimental Social Psychology, not Psychological Review | Walton & Cohen 2007 belonging-uncertainty paper was in JPSP, not Psychological Science | Flore & Wicherts 2015 meta-analysis was published in Journal of School Psychology, not Psychological Bulletin

   What the page claimed

   Body content already correctly fixed for all three cited errors (Shelby Steele removed as co-developer, 1988 chapter correctly cited to Advances in Experimental Social Psychology, Walton & Cohen 2007 correctly cited to Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Flore & Wicherts 2015 correctly cited to Journal of School Psychology in both prose and bibliography). However, the FAQ JSON-LD schema field still contained a stale, uncorrected answer stating: "Paul Flore and Jelte Wicherts's 2015 Journal of Experimental Social Psychology meta-analysis of 47 stereotype threat studies on women and mathematics found a significant effect..."

   What was corrected

   Fixed the FAQ field's stale journal name to match the corrected body/bibliography citation: "Paul Flore and Jelte Wicherts's 2015 Journal of School Psychology meta-analysis of 47 stereotype threat studies on women and mathematics found a significant effect..."

   Why: Body text for all three fabrications described in this contribution's summary was already correctly fixed.

   However, the FAQ JSON-LD schema block (decoded via base64->json->base64->json) still carried the pre-correction journal name 'Journal of Experimental Social Psychology' for the Flore & Wicherts 2015 meta-analysis, contradicting the correct 'Journal of School Psychology' used in the body and bibliography.

   Corrected the FAQ answer text to match, re-encoded via the same 4-step op-sequence, and verified the fix landed cleanly on live re-fetch with no corruption to the other 4 FAQ items.
