re) in physics and chemistry as part of her application. although she has gotten excellent grades in both chemistry and physics in college, when she enters the room for her physics test she can't help but notice that almost all of the students taking the test are male, and she is only one of a handful of female students. according to research by claude steele, what might be the effect of lindsay's awareness that she is vastly outnumbered by male students?

Claude Mason Steele is an African-American social psychologist. He is best known for his work on stereotype threat and its application to minority student academic performance. Throughout his academic career his work focused on three main domain of research in subject areas of social psychology, stereotype threat, self-affirmation and addictive behaviors. The above-mentioned case falls under stereotype threat which occurs when people are at risk for living up to a negative stereotype about their group. Lindsay, though has good grades in Chemistry and Physics, is in the verge of getting a low grade or worse fail her Physics exam thinking that she is outnumbered by male graduate school examiners. To better understand stereotype threat, the following are its impact on people's behavior: reduced effort - fear resulting to reduced effort to make an excuse to failure;disengaging - being not good at something will make the person to disengage in that area;and changing aspirations and career goals. However, there also ways to reduce stereotype threat and they are as follows: providing role models - observing and following role models are motivation; encouraging self-affirmation; and emphasizing motivation and effort. Although stereotype threat is a significant concern in vulnerable individuals (people like Lindsay), following the aforementioned steps in reducing stereotype threat may reduced it. In Lindsay's case, she can choose to perform less, that is getting low score/grades in Physics (reduced effort) or she can choose to be better and get the best score she can (encouraging self-affirmation or emphasizing motivation and effort).

I believe the answer is: classical conditioning

Classical conditioning happens when we pair a biologically potent stimulus  with a previously neutral stimulus. Over time, the subject would  elicit a certain type of response everytime they are faced with the natural stimulus, even without the existence of the potent stimulus.

sammy [17]

Answer:

D No, because the citizenship requirement is not necessary to achieve a compelling state interest.

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect, because the Tenth Amendment reserves to the states power not granted to the federal government.

Option B is incorrect, because it states the standard that the Supreme Court has applied to primary and secondary school teachers.

Option C is also incorrect, because it states the wrong standard.

Hence, Option D is correct, because a state generally may not discriminate against aliens or foreigners absent a compelling state interest, and no compelling interest is served by prohibiting aliens or foreigners from teaching at a state university.
