Kelly's math professor stated, "Last semester the men in the class scored significantly higher than the women in the class on this exam so I am challenging the women today to outperform the women last semester." As the test begins, Kelly begins to sweat, nervously bounces her knees, and experiences nausea. Ultimately, Kelly underperforms on the exam. Based on your understanding of factors impacting performance, what is one possible explanation for Kelly's response and subsequent score?

▸ Kelly is simply underprepared for the exam.

▸ The stereotype threat in which Kelly believes women are not good at math affected her performance.

▸ She is genetically predisposed to do poorly in math because neither her mother nor her siblings are good at math.

▸ Kelly's bouncing knees are a reflection of her severe test anxiety.
