Identify the basis for self-fulfilling prophecy and discuss how it can affect a person's self-esteem

What will be an ideal response


The self-fulfilling prophecy is the idea that what you believe about yourself often comes true because you expect it to come true. For example, if you think you will fail the math test because you tell yourself you are bad at math, then you have to overcome your deficiencies in math and the low expectations you have assigned to yourself. This is one aspect of self-expectations.
