how would you define "stereotype threat"?

Answer 1

A stereotype threat occurs when, for example, there's a situation in which the SAT's are given in an all-white classroom with one african-american student. The african-american student would be aware of the stereotype that he's not expected to do well and this is increased by the fact that he's taking it with white students. This will cause him/her to not perform as well as he/she could given the fact that he is predistined to fail by society's standard. I know it's a little rough, but I'm at work and can't think so clear.

Answer 3

All teenagers fit into some kind of stereotype. Even if you're not the cheerleader, the jock, the prep, the band geek, the nerd, the stoner, the dropout, the goody goody, the rich kid, the teen mother, the loner, or any other obvious stereotype then you may just be a misfit. They're always a group of misfits. They're the group with the girl the doesn't give a **** and has tons of rumors about her, the guy that's so obviously gay but won't admit it, a fatty, someone who believes they get along with all the other cliques and that kid that no one knows even exists and they're all real good friends even though they don't appear to have anything in common. Being a teenager is about being a stereotype and trying to find out where you fit in.
