Pygmalion effect  

Definición

  • The Pygmalion effect is a special case of self-fulfilling prophecy (SFP) in which raising a manager's expectations regarding worker performance boosts that performance. The Pygmalion effect debuted in educational psychology when psychologists experimentally raised elementary school teachers' expectations toward a randomly selected subsample of their pupils and thereby produced significantly greater gains in achievement among those pupils in comparison to pupils in the control group.
