kendini gerçekleştiren kehanet


Definition from Bilkent Üniversitesi:
Kendini gerçekleştiren kehanet, gerçeğin çarpıtılması sonucunda oluşturulan algının, zaman içinde gerçeği etkileyerek değiştirmesidir

Example sentence(s):
  • Psikolojide kendini gerçekleştiren kehanet olarak da adlandırılan Pigmalion etkisi bir diğer kişi hakkında hatalı görüşleri bulunan bir kişinin, kendi hatalı görüşlerini doğrulayacak şekilde davranması ve sonunda da hedef kişinin de buna uygun davranışlar göstermesi şeklinde literatürde yer almaktadır. Yani algılayan kişi kendi algıları ile hedef kişi hakkında yorumlar yapmakta ve bir takım beklentiler oluşturmaktadır ve ona beklentileri çerçevesinde davranmaktadır. Nihayet hedef kişi de algılayan kişinin beklentilerini doğrulayacak şekilde davranmaktadır. - Indus Danismanlik
