Jackman and Senter's study shows that both men and women hold the stereotype that women are more emotional than men. This suggests that members of the stereotyped group accept the stereotype as true, which is characteristic of a strong stereotype. Therefore, the best choice is B.

Option D is incorrect because the study's findings indicate the presence of a strong gender stereotype, not a weak one.
