Answer to Question 1

Answer: Self-fulfilling prophecies involve behaving in ways that actually elicit from other people the very behaviors that we initially expected. If we hold inaccurate stereotypes about members of out-groups, we might treat them consistently with our stereotypes. Our behavior toward them might well bring forth from them the very behaviors or characteristics that we erroneously expected. These behaviors then bolster our faith in our stereotypes, and might actually bolster our prejudice and our tendency to discriminate against out-group members.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
