stereotype threat  

Définition

  • Stereotype threat is said to occur when an individual's awareness of negative stereotypes about his or her group becomes an apprehension about confirming such stereotypes based on his or her appearance, behavior, mannerisms, and so on. According to the stereotype threat formulation, the activation of a negative stereotype—via experimental instructions or other cues in the environment—can elicit a disruptive state that can undermine performance and aspirations in stereotype-relevant domains.
