In one study, psychologist margaret shih and her colleagues assessed the performance of asian american women on a test of verbal ability, an area in which women are stereotypically expected to excel but asians are not. in this study, the women scored higher on the verbal test when reminded of the gender identity, but scored lower on the test when reminded of their racial identity. the effect of racial identity in this study is an example of:

Stereotype Threat

Explanation:

Racial identity is always threatening since it opens up prejudiced treatment towards such people, especially when they are migrants. The high score on verbal test shows the confidence they possess and competition they overcome in performing better in a multicultural society. But revealing racial identity is depressing, disgracing and humiliating; hence, people in such society tend to either hide or avoid to discuss it because ultimately they may be treated as a stereotype. It follows a threat and intimidation. The target women scored low on racial identity since it one they are abused or threatened with and it has lasting consequences.
