Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Pygmalion effect is the phenomenon whereby higher expectations lead to an increase in performance due to the individual's belief that they can meet those expectations. In this scenario, Ms. Almanzor had high expectations for Martin, and his exceptional test performance could be attributed, at least in part, to the Pygmalion effect. The other options (A, C, and D) do not seem to be as relevant to Martin's test performance in this scenario.
