Which statement describes an essential requirement for stereotype threat to occur?

The individual in question must be aware about the negative stereotypes about his or her group.

Explanation:

Stereotype is a presumption about a person's nature and character just by seeing his outside look. Where we know person's outside look hardly determine a person character or type as a whole. This presumption is untrue or sometimes partially true.

It works as a threat in a group. When a person makes a group for performing in an event he or she must be aware about the negative stereotypes of his or her group which can cause problem in progression. That thing needs to be handled carefully.
