The Journal 1 The main topic I chose to emphasizes on is self-fulfilling. Self-fulfilling is a prediction that is directly or indirectly causing itself to become true. As you can see the picture I have drawn on the A4 paper, It’s a man who is not really much of a big muscular person and what’s on the reflection in his mirror is his prediction of himself in the future and also what he wants to achieve. He imagined himself having such a huge, big muscular body. In the photo, it shows prediction of himself that may come true or might not come true, it also shows self-fulfilling in a way it satisfied himself or telling himself he can do this. In other words, a positive or negative prophecy, strongly held belief, or delusion-declared as truth when it is actually false-may sufficiently influence people so that their reactions ultimately fulfill the once-false prophecy. Self-fulfilling are effects in behavior confirmation effect, in which behavior, influenced by expectations, causes those expectations to come true. ( 196 words )
