Answer 1

Acting in ways that bring about expectations or judgments of others that have been expressed to us is known as "self-fulfilling prophecy".

A self-fulfilling prophecy is the point at which a man unwittingly makes an expectation work out, because of the straightforward reality that he or she anticipates that it will come true.The idea of inevitable outcome is nearly connected with positive and negative reasoning and the limit of the human personality. It deals with a straightforward belief―the manner by which we think impacts our conduct and activities (inclining towards what we are considering) which at last influences our execution.

Answer 2

Answer: c. self-fulfilling prophecy

The term ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’ (SFP) came about in 1948 when Robert K. Merton described ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’ as a dynamic process where in a false conception creates a new behavior in a person and makes the original false conception true.

SFP is also known as ‘Oedipus effect.’
