The phenomenon of ______________ may cause women, African Americans, and members of other groups to underperform on cognitive-based selection tests
A) burnout
B) negative affect
C) stereotype threat
D) group-based neuroticism
Answer: C
Rationale: Stereotype threat (as covered in previous chapter) occurs when knowledge of a stereotype about a group you belong to impairs performance. Due to stereotype threat, two individuals with different gender, ethnic, or cultural backgrounds may score very differently on the same test, despite having equal performance measures on the job.
