Detailed explanation-1: -A self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that comes true at least in part as a result of a person’s or group’s belief or expectation that said prediction would come true. This suggests that people’s beliefs influence their actions.
Detailed explanation-2: -self-fulfilling prophecy, process through which an originally false expectation leads to its own confirmation. In a self-fulfilling prophecy an individual’s expectations about another person or entity eventually result in the other person or entity acting in ways that confirm the expectations.
Detailed explanation-3: -Abstract. Self-fulfilling prophecy, also known as interpersonal expectancy effect, refers to the phenomenon whereby a person’s or a group’s expectation for the behavior of another person or group serves actually to bring about the prophesied or expected behavior.
Detailed explanation-4: -Self-fulfilling prophecies occur when a prediction brings about its own fulfillment. In layman’s terms, that means that if you believe something to be true, you’ll act as if it were true. And your actions double down on your prediction to make it a reality. It’s kind of a vicious cycle.
Detailed explanation-5: -Some examples of self-imposed prophecies include believing you will do poorly on an exam and then failing the test, or thinking that you won’t get the job and then not getting it. In both cases, your beliefs influenced your behavior and performances, contributing to the expected outcome coming to pass.
