The Power of Belief: Self-fulfilling prophecies in education

A self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that, through just being predicted, causes itself to be true. The term was first used by Robert K Merton in 1948 – he defined it as to describe ‘a false definition of the situation, evoking a behaviour which makes the originally false conception true’. This means that our psychological responses to fears about the future actually have the power to make a false reality become true.
