B) In this case, Cindy likely succumbed to a stereotype threat by confirming    that “Asians are better in math” and therefore she was more likely to do poorly on the    test.  A stereotype threat places an extra emotional and cognitive burden that one’s    performance in an academic situation might confirm a stereotype that others hold.
