Steele developed the term “stereotype threat” to describe the experience of members of
a minority group within the context of a majority group. His studies have demonstrated
that dominant stereotypes about minorities will affect performance in certain group
situations. Once a certain numeric threshold has been crossed, members of the minority
population are less likely to feel the effects of stereotype threat.
