PSY 111 INTRO TO PSYCHOLOGY
Self-fulfilling Prophecy
From your personal, academic and professional lives, think of a belief you may have about yourself. Next, think of an event that occurred, and your behavior (i.e. action or inaction) during this event. What was the subsequent outcome of that event? For this assignment you will create 3 self-fulfilling prophecy examples.
Helpful Hints:
-For your Belief, this can be a positive or negative one that you have about yourself. *Using a negative example will help identify areas that may need attention. Make sure you are clear and concise with the description/explanation of your belief.
-For your Behavior, make sure to identify if it was an action or inaction.
-For your Outcome, make sure you tie it in to how it reinforced the initial Belief.
