Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is the concept of a self-fulfilling prophecy, where someone's belief or expectation about an outcome leads them to behave in a way that makes that outcome more likely to occur. If someone believes they will succeed, they may work harder and take more risks, leading to a greater chance of success. If they believe they will fail, they may give up more easily or not put in as much effort, leading to a greater chance of failure.
