Answers should mention a tendency for negatively stereotyped groups to experience undue pressure in the context of an evaluation related to the stereotype. For example, women may be told that men perform better on the SAT math section, which may lead to self-doubt and second guessing and result in the self-fulfilling prophecy of underperformance on the SAT math section.
