Self Fulfilling Prophecy
Blog Entry 002 week 3
Self Fulfilling Prophecy is when a person believes in something and making effort to achieve it. It is what happens when one expects a good thing as in the outcome and works for it and the result is as the individual expected. When the person sees the outcome and believe that his/her expectation is confirmed, self fulfilling prophecy existed. Vice versa if expectation is negative, the outcome will be negative. This theory is important for its effects on one’s self esteem self concept.
