An example of a self-fulfilling prophecy is the placebo effect, when a person experiences beneficial outcomes because they expect an inactive "look-alike" substance or treatment to work, even though it has no known medical effect.
How do you make a self-fulfilling prophecy?
- You form expectations of yourself, others, or events.
- You express those expectations verbally or nonverbally.
- Others adjust their behavior and communication to match your messages.
- Your expectations become reality.
- The confirmation strengthens your belief.
