Early research on gender and communication identified several differences between how men and women speak, and investigators suggested these differences were due to the difference in power between men and women. Identify and define three of these differences and explain how more recent research might explain these findings.

The theory avers that, as negative stereotypes on certain groups exist, the group members are more likely to feel nervous concerning success, limiting their ability to succeed to their total capacity. Notably, the stereotype does not require the user to adhere to it for it to be enabled. The mechanism by which fear reduces success is thought to deplete working memory (Jussim, 2017). This threat is opposite to boost, which occurs when individuals operate differently due to sensitivity to favorable assumptions about their community. Scholars also argued that stereotype threat we desist from considering an element in real-life success differences and have expressed concerns about publishing prejudice. Others have concentrated on addressing what they believe are misunderstandings about early research that showed a significant impact (Madon et al., 2018). Though the hypothesis defies over-simplistic characterization, and studies have shown considerable support for the consequences of this type of threat (Jussim, 2017).
