文老師啊，因為你是本壇元勳級別的，腦門硬，所以你跑俺也要砸，文中講到這段，雖然沒直接談自信，但是難道不是和自信同樣的心理活動嗎。

VEDANTAM: Stereotype Threat's a phenomenon where people, worried about a stereotype, act in ways that make the stereotype self-fulfilling. Take the stereotype that girls aren't as good as boys at math. Remind children about that stereotype and girls will perform measurably worse on a math test. Schmader said the same psychological process was at work, when male and female scientists talked about their research.

SCHMADER: For a female scientist, particularly talking to a male colleague, if she thinks that it's possible he might hold this stereotype, a piece of her mind is spent monitoring the conversation and monitoring what it is she is saying, and wondering whether or not she's saying the right thing, and wondering whether or not she's sounding competent, and wondering whether or not she's confirming the stereotype.

......

But the psychological study show people are affected by Stereotype Threat regardless of whether they believe the stereotype. Take Mehl. He knows all about Stereotype Threat. He studies it for a living. It affects even him. Remember he told us he's German and that his wife is from Mexico? The stereotype that affects Mehl has to do with dancing.

MEHL: When I go dancing in Mexico, the stereotype of Germans not being good dancers is very salient. So I find myself much more aware of the way I dance when I dance among a group of Latinos, compared to when I dance among a group of Germans.
