Here below is the description of self fulfilling prophecy from the textbook. The textbook is Understanding Interpersonal Communication – Richard West and Lynn H. Turner
Textbook information:
. A self-fulfilling prophecy is when a person unknowingly causes a prediction to come true, due to the simple fact that he or she expects it to come true. These prophecies may either be self-imposed, which occurs when your own expectations influence your behavior or other-imposed, which occurs when the expectations of another person influence your behavior. Self-fulfilling prophecies can take place within a number of interpersonal situations. Self-fulfilling prophecies usually follow a pattern. First, we form expectations of ourselves, others, or particular events. Next, we communicate those expectations to others. Third, others respond to our behaviors. Fourth, our expectations become reality, and our expectations confirm our original thinking about ourselves.
