<u>Answer: </u>

The self-fulfilling prophecy is the social process whereby a false definition of the situation brings about behavior that makes the false definition come true.

<u>Explanation: </u>

A wrong definition given of a situation that is not the way the definition describes it to be sometimes influences the behavior of individuals to such an extent that the definitions is proven true.
This process of a definition proving itself true through influencing the very thought of the people regarding the situation is referred to as 'self-fulfilling prophecy'.
