He randomly divided a group of mice into group A and group B, and told the breeder of group A that the mice were very clever. At the same time, he told the breeder of group B that the mice in his group had average intelligence. A few months later, the professor tested two groups of mice crossing the maze, and found that the mice in group A were actually smarter than those in group B. They could get out of the maze first and find food.
So Professor Rosenthal was inspired. He wants to know whether this effect will also happen to people. He went to an ordinary middle school, walked casually in a class, and then circled a few names on the list of students, telling their teachers that these students had high IQ and were very smart. After a while, the professor came to this middle school again, and the miracle happened again. The students he chose have really become the best in the class now. Only then did Professor Rosenthal tell their teachers that he knew nothing about these students, which surprised them.
Why is this happening? This is the magic of expectation at work. Professor Rosenthal is a famous psychologist with high authority in people's minds. Teachers are convinced of his words, so they have positive expectations for the students he points out and regard them as smart children. These students also feel this expectation, think they are smart, improve their self-confidence and raise their standards. Finally, they really became excellent students.
This is the famous "Rosenthal effect"
Encourage your children and cultivate their self-confidence. Your expectations will largely determine their future. Believe it or not.
