Body image is a person's perception of the aesthetics or sexual attractiveness of their own body. The phrase body image was first coined by the Austrian neurologist and psychoanalyst Paul Schilder in his book The Image and Appearance of the Human Body society has at all times placed great value on beauty of the human body, but a person's perception of their own body may not correspond to society's standards.The concept of body image is used in a number of disciplines, including psychology, medicine, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, philosophy and cultural and feminist studies. The term is also often used in the media. Across these disciplines and media there is no consensus definition. A person's body image is thought to be, in part, a product of their personal experiences, personality, and various social and cultural forces. A person's sense of their own physical appearance, usually in relation to others or in relation to some cultural "ideal," can shape their body image. A person's perception of their appearance can be different from how others actually perceive them.Research suggests that exposure to mass media depicting the thin-ideal body may be linked to body image disturbance in women. This meta-analysis examined experimental and correlational studies testing the links between media exposure to body dissatisfaction, internalization of the thin ideal, and eating behaviors and beliefs with a sample of 77 studies that yielded 141 effect sizes. Effects for some outcome variables were moderated by publication year and study design. The findings support the notion that exposure to media images depicting the thin-ideal body is related to body image concerns for women.

Answer:

Prophecy.

Explanation:

Self-fulfilling prophecy is a socio-psychological phenomenon of someone predicting or expecting something, positive or negative, and this prediction (prophecy) or expectation comes true simply because one believes it will, and their resulting behaviors align to fulfill those beliefs, including the act of predicting it (self-fulfilling). This suggests peoples' beliefs influence their actions/behaviors. The principle behind this phenomenon is people create consequences regarding circumstances, people or events, based on their previous knowledge toward that specific subject solely based on one’s interpretation of a certain situation. In this case, if the students failed previous math classes, they will fail again because they believe they are going to.
