Key Concepts

Stereotype Threat

Stereotype threat is a social-psychological phenomenon where individuals feel at risk of conforming to negative stereotypes about their social group. This anxiety or apprehension can impair performance in tasks related to the stereotype, thereby reinforcing the stereotype's validity.

Social stereotyping refers to the process of applying generalized attributes to individuals based on their perceived membership in particular social groups. This process can influence behavior and self-concept and is the backdrop against which phenomena like stereotype threat occur.
