Understanding Pygmalion phenomenon and its mechanism is of great practical educational significance. It reminds us that it is very important for educators, whether teachers, parents or other personnel, to have full confidence in the educated and believe that they can develop better.

The opinions and attitudes of people who occupy an important position in life reflect their image like a mirror. If they think that educators think that they are capable and trust them, then they also think that they are capable and trustworthy, so that they can build up their due self-esteem and work hard for the better with enthusiasm.
