Examples of Self-Fulfilling Prophecy -You think
a certain race dislikes your race so you treat
them poorly, therefore they treat you as though
they dislike you -You expect your new roommate to
be shy so you dont speak much to him after he
moves in, and he therefore does seem shy -A
coach expects his freshmen to be uncoordinated
and unskilled so he does not play them often, and
when he does they are rusty and do not perform
well -Your teacher expects you to do well and
she spends extra time with you preparing for the
exam, so you get an A
