The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

Оглавление

Do you tend to be pessimistic or optimistic? Optimists believe eventually they will succeed, and so they persevere; pessimists, expecting failure, tend to give up when confronted with challenges. Consequently, pessimists fail more frequently than do optimists. Optimists are resilient; they have feelings of self-efficacy, a positive belief in their abilities and competence.29 Unfortunately, the pessimist’s outlook and lack of resilience may lead to failure even as success is within reach. In many ways, both pessimists and optimists live out self-fulfilling prophecies.
