Self-fulfilling prophesy refers to the phenomenon where a person's beliefs or expectations about another individual influence their behavior towards that individual and subsequently shape the other's behavior in line with those beliefs or expectations. This can lead to a self-fulfilling cycle where a person's expectations become reality.
