Instead, he uses his social network to bolster his self-esteem.Based on the information above, what phenomenon related to stereotype threat has Gary been affected by?

His lack of concern about doing poorly and reliance on his social network to support his self-esteem fit this pattern. Assessment anxiety would involve worry about being evaluated, which the scenario does not describe.
