1, pygmalion effect, also known as Rosenthal effect. A social psychological effect refers to the phenomenon that teachers' earnest hope for students can dramatically receive the expected effect.

As long as you are full of confident expectations and you really believe that things will go smoothly, things will go smoothly. On the contrary, if you believe that things are constantly being resisted, these boycotts will occur, and successful people will cultivate a confident attitude and believe that good things will happen.
This is what psychology calls BiMalone effect. Pygmalion effect gave us such a revelation: praise, trust and expectation have an energy that can change people's behavior. When a person gains the trust and praise of another person, he feels that he has won the support of society, thus enhancing his self-worth, becoming confident and self-respecting, and gaining a positive motivation.
Educational significance
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. Psychological research has proved that educated people, especially children, often get their own understanding from educators first.
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.
