Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two essential components of a self-fulfilling prophecy are having expectations about what a person is like and behaving toward the person in ways consistent with those expectations. Option B correctly identifies both of these components. Option A only identifies one component (expectations about what a person is like), and the second component (behaving in ways consistent with those expectations) is not included. Options C and D both refer to expectations about oneself, which is not the same as a self-fulfilling prophecy.
