Answer:
D. stereotype threat
Explanation:
A stereotype threat defined by Steele and Aronson ârefers to being at risk of conforming, as self-characteristic, a negative stereotype about oneâs social groupâ. In other words, itâs the type of situation in which you feel threatened or at risk about someone to make a judgement out of stereotypes. In this case, we could read that Jeff is a âfun-loving, intelligent, responsible teenagerâ and that he is scared that people might judge him âbadlyâ only because of his hair color. People with different types of colors are mostly misjudged as âvandalsâ.
