Self-fulfilling Prophecy




Self-fulfilling prophecy refers to the socio-psychological phenomenon of someone "predicting" or expecting something, and this "prediction" or expectation comes true simply because one believes it will, and their resulting behaviors align to fulfill those beliefs. This suggests people's beliefs influence their actions.
