Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stereotype threat can cause negative emotions such as anxiety and fear of confirming a negative stereotype, which can interfere with performance (emotional). It can also lead to cognitive distractions, such as worrying about being judged, which can divert attention away from the task (cognitive). Finally, it can reduce motivation to perform well due to the belief that one's efforts will not matter because of the negative stereotype (motivational). Therefore, option B, which lists the emotional, cognitive, and motivational effects of stereotype threat, is the best choice.
