Answer:

The answer to the two questions here would be thus:

1. Which term is used to describe Hilda´s anxiety? would be: stereotype threat. Stereotype threat is a situation in which a person may feel threatened by a certain circumstance, or condition which will make evident the differences to which that person has become accustomed due to their race, gender, or age group.

Hilda is a 66-year-old woman who has become accustomed to believing that she will not perform well on an IQ test, because stereotypically, society, and Hilda herself as part of that society, believes that people her age are less skilled at such tests than younger ones. So her body responds through anxiety, which is a form of stress, to the threat, which is the IQ test.

2. Hilda´s test performance will be affected because her own mind and her body are in "fight or flight" mode, which means that the sense of threat will hinder the true capacity that her brain has, despite any differences, to sift through a problem, and find a solution to it. Hilda is ignoring the fact that her brain´s capacity will not necessarily be affected by age, and therefore she will not give it a chance to exert its full capacity to solve the issue.

With regard to the culture clashes in different nations and communities, use of the contact hypothesis theory could help to ease tensions.

In the contact hypothesis theory, which is credited to Gordon Allport, is the ability for two or more cultures to coexist peacefully through meaningful and thoughtful interaction in order to reduce prejudice. To ensure successful contact, it is recommended that: both groups receive equal status of importance with minimal differences in characteristics, backgrounds, and qualities; groups work towards achieving a common goal which is equally beneficial to both groups; there is cooperation from all subjects in each group; support from local authorities of laws/government and customs; personal interaction between members of opposing groups.

Potential outcomes for successful tourist-host contact include: relaxed attitudes, understanding, a mutual appreciation for the opposing culture's values, positive interactions wherein cultures are respected mutually, increased active communication to ensure both parties are satisfied and can co-exist peacefully, and perceiving the opposing culture as equally important.
