Answer:
self-fulfilling prophecy is a belief or expectation that an individual holds about a future event that manifests because the individual holds it
Explanation:
Self-fulfilling prophecy is a prophecy in which an individual makes his or prediction to come true unknowingly simply because he or she expects that to happen. For example, a football team manager expects academy graduates in their club to be less skilled and so he refuses to play them regularly, when he brings them on during football matches, they are rusty and don’t play well which makes his prophecy to come true.
Since negative thoughts can make things happen so are the positive thoughts as well. We need the positive thoughts in all cases and the following steps can break the cycle;
If the person who is the perceiver is motivated to obtain exact impression of the next person, then their expectation of that person would become more objective. In the other step, if the person or target knows that the perceiver bears wrongs expectation of him or her, then the target can adjust his or her behavior to counter such wrong expectations.
