THE SELF FULFILLING PREDICTION-SECRET
The Pygmalion or Pinocchio effect
The effect is named after Pygmalion, a Cypriot sculptor in Greek mythology, who fell in love with a female statue he had carved out of ivory after it became human from his wishes.
The Pygmalion effect, or Rosenthal effect, refers to the phenomenon in which the greater the expectation placed upon people, often children or students and employees, the better they perform.
The Pygmalion effect is a form of self-fulfilling prophecy, and, in this respect, people will succeed.
So if teachers expect enhanced performance from some children, then the children will show that enhancement.
Reality can be influenced by the expectations of others. Rosenthal posited that biased expectancies can essentially affect reality and create self-fulfilling prophecies as a result.
The pygmalion effect could occur in reverse. That is, if a student's expectation of their teacher could be transmitted to the teacher and influence their performance,studies found that a teacher's performance is indeed influenced by the expectations—and subsequent behavior of—their students.
How we believe the world is and what we honestly think it can become have powerful effects on how things will turn out.
