Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Self-fulfilling prophecy can lead to better performance if the expectations placed on the individual are positive and high, and they are motivated to meet those expectations. On the other hand, if the expectations are negative or low, the individual may underperform due to decreased motivation or lack of opportunities. Therefore, the result of exposure to self-fulfilling prophecy can vary depending on the expectations placed on the individual.
