Read this article about Rosenthal and Jacobsen and tick the answers that are mentioned in the article.

This created the concept of a 'self-fulfilling prophecy', where people live up to their label from a positive (e.g. being called a genius) or negative (e.g. being called a moron) label, which positively or negatively affects their exam results, even though the 'geniuses' aren't actually smarter than the people who haven't been labelled."

Wähle eine oder mehr der folgenden:

  • The article mentions the idea of living up to your label, also known as a self fulfilling prophecy.

  • People who have been positively labelled have better exam results than those who haven't.
