Dana is nervous about the upcoming physics exam she is the only in the class and has achieved higher scores on the assignments than most of the boys in class she knows the boys thinks they're smarter and better at applying principles of physics in this situation dana's nervousness is an example of:

stereotype threat

Explanation:

Stereotype threat is a phenomenon that refers to the perceived risk of an individual to act according to a particular norm or convention that are attached to a particular social group. In order words, it simply refers to fear of the tendency of an individual to confirm the belief that most people in a society have concerning what they expect of a particular social group.

For example, a negative stereotype such as the believe that boys are smarter and better at applying principles of physics, is likely to affect Dana’s performance in the upcoming physics exam, as she is disturbed by this belief. This might eventually make her perform badly in the exam. The nervousness she feels in this situation  an example of stereotype threat.

one way archaeology us understand the past is through the material objects it finds, allowing us to know what was being used, and when. for example a dig recently found a flute, believed to be the oldest musical instrument found to date.
