Answer to Question 2
The self-fulfilling prophecy is the process by which a perceiver's expectations about a
person can eventually lead that person to behave in ways that confirm those
expectations. Self-fulfilling prophecies are less likely to occur if the perceiver is highly
motivated to seek the truth and form an accurate assessment of the target, or if the
perceiver is primarily motivated to make a good impression and be liked. If targets are
aware of the perceiver's expectations about them, they may be able and motivated to
disconfirm these expectations and thus avoid the self-fulfilling prophecy. Also, if the
perceiver's expectations clash with the target's self-concept, the target's behavior may
be less likely to be influenced by expectation.
