self-fulfilling prophecy
Mystery needed
When talking about results they are expecting, many people say: “I know it’s going to be...” and they unconsciously put into place all the actions that bring them to that result.
Everybody’s story is a self-fulfilling prophecy. In personal growth and psychology, it is also known as the “Pygmalion effect” or “Rosenthal theory”.
What I expect from you
Dr. Rosenthal was the first to study positive expectancy effects and he carried out the experiment in an American school. The students presented as super-intelligent were the ones that obtained the best results, even though, if truth be told, they had been selected from the worst American colleges.
