The Pygmalion Effect

• In 1968, a study was done by two researchers,
  Rosenthal and Jacobson. They told teachers they
  were testing the intelligence of children aged
  six to twelve years, all drawn from the same
  school. They then randomly assigned children to
  two groups. Their teachers were told that the
  children in one group were "high achievers" even
  though they were randomly chosen. At the end of
  the school year, these children showed
  significant test gains, despite the random
  allocation to a group.In short, the researchers
  discovered that the teachers' expectations
  manifested in the children. That people pick up
  unconscious clues from others and respond to
  them.The subconscious mind stores our picture
  of ourselves. When we are young, that picture is
  influenced and reinforced by how people picture
  us.

Psyche

• . . . Psyche is the Greek word for soul. It's
  also the Greek word for butterfly. If you have a
  protagonist in a story whose name is Psyche, you
  might expect that she will go through a major
  transition and crisis. Will she survive it? Will
  she come through and be transformed, or will she
  die? That's one way of looking at the Psyche
  myth.
• Psyche refers to soul, self, and mind in
  Greek, hence its similar meaning in English thus
  we also have psychology, psychic, etc.

• "Celestial Cupid, her famed son, advanced,
• Holds his dear Psyche sweet entranced,
• After her wandering labours long,
• Till free consent the gods among
• Make her his eternal bride
• And from her fair unspotted side
• Two blissful twins are to be born,
• Youth and Joy so Jove hath sworn."
• John Milton
