Question

PSYCHOLOGY

Answer 1

Iris is most likely being negatively stereotyped as being gifted.

Option D

Explanation:

Many students who have proven to be gifted intellectually are likely to face struggle and negative feedback from their classmates. This is generally because they believe that the gifted student will get special treatment above the other student. Furthermore, it is evident that gifted students are likely to have different interests than their peers or much deeper knowledge of the common interest. They use terms which peers might not understand, barring them from having an effective conversation.

To maintain a balance in the class, teacher's are trained in a specific field in which they learn how to treat all the students equally, gifted or not. That helps reverse the negative stereotype or bring it down to a minimal level. As for students interacting with each other, several activities are put to place to encourage healthy interactions.
