In reality, the students had been randomly selected by the researchers. Nonetheless, a year later, the researchers found that teachers' expectations for the "late bloomers" were reflected in student performance-the academic performance of the "late bloomers" was beyond that of other students. The results from this study demonstrate which of the following concepts?
A. self-serving bias B. self-fulfilling prophecy C. the butterfly effect D. cognitive dissonance theory
