Self-Fulfilling Prophecies: A Theoretical and Integrative Review.

Jussim, Lee

Psychological Review, v93 n4 p429-45 Oct 1986

This article reviews self-fulfilling prophecies in three sequential stages: (1) teachers develop expectations, (2) teachers treat students differently depending on expectations, and (3) students react to treatment in expectancy-confirming ways. The focus is on social and psychological events at each stage, causal processes linking stages, and conditions limiting prophecy-fulfillment. (Author/LMO)
