The Pygmalion Effect, also known as the self-fulfilling prophecy, is a psychological phenomenon where higher expectations placed upon individuals lead to an increase in their performance. Essentially, when others believe in someone's potential and treat them accordingly, it can boost their confidence and motivation, ultimately resulting in improved outcomes. This effect highlights the powerful impact of expectations and belief in shaping human behavior and achievement.
