Reference no: EM132814535

Question: A good friend of yours has just met someone she thinks you would really like; she claims you and this new person have much in common and wants to arrange a lunch meeting. Because you trust your friend's judgment, you agree to lunch. How might your lunch meeting unfold?

For this Discussion, you will analyze the effect of self-fulfilling prophecies on education, careers, and relationships.

To Prepare

Think of a time when you expected a new acquaintance to act a particular way.

Review the Learning Resources for this week and consider how self-fulfilling prophecies could affect your own education, career, and relationships.

Post a description of how your expectations might influence your behavior toward a new acquaintance. Explain whether a self-fulfilling prophecy made it more likely the new acquaintance would be just the kind of person you had expected him or her to be. Explain the implications of the self-fulfilling prophecy for your own education, career(s), and relationships.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the social psychology theory and research. In addition to the Learning Resources, search the Walden Library and/or Internet for peer-reviewed articles to support your post and responses. Use proper APA format and citations, including those in the Learning Resources.
