Rosenthal effect

created by Deborah909

(idea) by Deborah909 (4.7 y) (print)   ?   (I like it!) 1 C! Sat Nov 13 1999 at 14:47:53

Named after the social psychologist Robert Rosenthal.

He randomly selected school children and told their teachers that tests showed that these children's intelligence and academic performance were due to blossom during the coming year.

Sho' nuff, the teachers tended to report great leaps in intelligence and academic performance in the year that followed. An interesting test of the effect of self-fulfilling prophecies in education.
