Answer: The base-rate fallacy

Explanation: The base rate fallacy also refered to as base rate bias is the tendency of an individual to erroneously predict the likely outcome of a situation by over looking all relevant data that was supposed to be taken into account. It is the preference of individuating information over relevant data. Stephon over looked the statistical data that his chance of making it into the NBA is low and prefer to go with the individuating information about how his friend's brother receives a lucrative contract to play for the NBA. This situation best illustrates base-rate fallacy.

A ___ is a prediction that results in behavior that makes the prediction come true
Vesna [10]

The answer is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

A self-fulfilling prophecy is a false definition of a situation or a person that evokes a new behavior, which causes the false conception to become true. This deceptive validity perpetuates the error. The possessor of the false belief will perceive the course of events as proof that he was right from the beginning.

<u>For example:</u>  When a person believes that he is going to fail an exam, his fears cause that failure to be confirmed.
