- Self Fulfilling Prophecy
- Process of something coming true due to prediction
- People have stereotypes and expectations of someone come from this.
- They are then 'labelled' and become this label.
- We behave accordingly to how we think someone is.
- The way the observer treats someone will affect the individuals self-concept
- They then become what is expected = SFP takes place
- Observed becomes anti-social due to negative views.
- Behaviour is then reinforced when observed begins to act according to stereotypes.
- Any pro-social behaviours are ignored by observer as the observed conforms to expectations.
- E.g. if teacher expects naughty student they may treat them as if they are
- student will act appropriately and be naughty SFP = reinforces teachers view.
- Process of something coming true due to prediction
