Answer:

b. Stereotype threat

Explanation:

Stereotype threat refers to being at risk of confirming, as a self-characteristic, a negative  stereotype about one's social group (Steele & Aronson, 1995).

When one views oneself in terms of a salient group membership (e.g., "I  am a woman. Women are not expected to study engineering as a course.” and “This is a difficult course of study to choose."),  aspirations can be squashed because of concerns about possibly confirming negative stereotypes about one's group.

Thus, situations that increase the salience of the stereotyped group  identity can increase vulnerability to stereotype threat.

Some of the consequences of stereotype threat include;

  • Decreased performance in academic and non-academic domains
  • Disengagement
  • Altered professional aspirations, etc.
