Question

Stereotype threat affects only minority groups

True or false??

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Stereotype is the pre prediction of characteristics of an individual belonging to a particular social group, regional group etc.

For example -

It is considered that all women are physically weak and need help all the time. But this is not true as some women are physically fit and much stronger than normal men.

Here pre prediction of a person being physically weak just on the basis of gender is a kind of stereotyping.

Stereotyping is not only threat to minority group but also to nations, to people belonging to a particular gender world wide, to any geographical boundaries, etc.

Hence, the given statement is false.

Answer 2

The answer is false, stereotypes can also affect majority groups. (Example: dumb blonde)
