The concept a social psychologist might use is the self-fulfilling prophecy.
Explanation:
A result of the Pygmalion effect, self-fulfilling prophecy explains that we are influenced by other people's expectations of us. If people believe we will succeed, we too begin to believe we will succeed. We then change our behavior, aligning it with the belief, making a self-fulfilling prophecy out of it.
Since the teacher was told she was teaching an honors section of psychology, and she believed it, she taught that class in a way that led it to the results an honors section would indeed present. The teacher was already biased - in a positive way - when she started teaching this class, which led her to see them in a favorable light. Such attitude ended up making the class perform better, as if it were truly an honors section.
Before the end of WWII in 1945 most of European countries were in constant wars with their neighbors. This was detrimental for the entire region because the fighting hampered efforts to develop a sustained economic growth. Due to these circumstances, the European Union was born to finally put an end to the endless wars among countries.
Around the 1950s, countries which were producing coal and steel in Europe, decided that in order to continue with the success of the two industries, it was necessary to unite European countries. Thanks to their efforts, the European Union was born.
The founder member countries were Italy, Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. They have been very successful in creating of the largest economic trading blocks around the world. It is their hope that the success continue for many decades to come.
