The experimental process is as follows: The famous American psychologist Dr. Rosenthal took his assistant to an elementary school, selected a class, randomly selected the names of several children in the class, and listed them on the list.
Then he solemnly handed it over to the class teacher and the school principal, and told them that these children have high IQs and are very smart, but do not tell the children and train them as usual.
A year later, when I went to this class again, I was shocked to find that several of the children selected for the experiment, whose previous grades in the class were not even average, were now at the top of the class.
Why? This is the effect brought about by the authority's positive expectations, or positive hints.
Dr. Rosenthal, a famous American psychologist, is an authoritative figure for primary school teachers, so they will believe in the words of authority. Although teacher
did not tell the selected children the results of the experiment, he still could not hide his positive hints to the students in his daily teaching work.
Weak children will regard teachers and parents as inner authority figures. When teachers give positive hints, children will instantly gain strength. In order not to disappoint the authorities, they will use actions to achieve the positive expectations of teachers.
The Pygmalion effect embodies the power of suggestion. The essence of
suggestion: People's emotions and ideas will be affected by other people's subconscious to varying degrees.
People tend to accept the influence and suggestions of people they like, trust, admire or admire. The higher the prestige of the expectant, the easier it is to produce the Pygmalion effect, and the greater the possibility of expecting results.
Of course, if the authority gives negative expectations and believes that the person being expected is unmotivated, stupid and lazy, then the person being expected will internalize this concept in their heart, give up on themselves, and exhibit various bad behaviors expected of them.
The "Pygmalion Effect" gives us a revelation: trust, praise, recognition and expectations have a kind of energy that can bring about positive changes in people's behavior, and then make positive results a matter of course.
The Pygmalion effect often has a positive impact on people who live out their own lives. Because their hearts are strong, they are not easily disturbed by the outside world and can still retain a certain degree of judgment regardless of the environment;
For those who are weak in their hearts and have no independent opinions, it is easy to be led by the hints and influences of the outside world, and they will never be able to stick to themselves.
Then why do expectations issued by authorities have the power to rewrite the destiny of life?
01. Authority actively looks forward to rekindling love in people's hearts.
When people gain trust and praise, they will subconsciously think that they are very good, liked and recognized. They will feel that the world is brighter and life will be better. Love and warmth will instantly surge in their hearts, and they will be full of goodwill and trust in the world.
02. Authority’s positive expectation brings self-confidence
When people are sincerely seen, recognized and accepted, their own importance and value are invisibly strengthened, directly leading to an increase in self-confidence.
03. Authoritative expectations bring an improvement in self-worth.
When ideas are respected, feelings are empathized with, and encouragement and affirmation are given, and abilities are recognized, you will feel full of accomplishment, your own sense of worth will be instantly amplified, and your self-esteem level will become higher and higher.
The positive expectation of authority allows people to regain a sense of security, self-confidence and high self-esteem, and these three points are exactly the three elements of a sound personality.
People's emotions, emotions and volitional behaviors are determined by the "inner self" in the personality combined with the surrounding environment.
However, the "inner self" cannot completely provide perfect guidance for decision-making, and feedback from the external environment is needed to assist decision-making.
People subconsciously tend to accept the hints and influences of the authoritative objects they like and admire, and use authoritative wisdom to improve the weak part of themselves.
With people who are authoritative and wise, people will become more aware, reflective and understanding, and their personality will be perfected in this understanding.
A sound personality is the underlying building for self-realization. Because there is love in the heart, one is full of goodwill and trust in the world, and has the courage to explore and try; because one is confident, one is positive and optimistic, and has the courage to innovate and create;
has a high level of self-esteem, so one has a strong sense of self-worth, and is more responsible and resistant to frustration.
The higher the level of self-esteem, the more self-discipline people will have. In order to achieve the positive expectations of authority, they will work harder in their actions, and then they will get closer and closer to the expected results.
The meaning of life is to take action as soon as you have an idea. Complete it first and then perfect it, and your destiny will naturally be different.
In real life, the changes brought about by the Pygmalion effect are two-way. Encouragement and affirmation between people often make both parties become excellent at the same time.

Language can change people's thinking patterns. When we can't say words of praise, please be merciful and don't say words that hurt others, because bad words are the executioner who causes psychological trauma.
A kind word makes winter warm, and a bad word makes June cold. May we all be willing to be the ones who bring sunshine to others, illuminate others and warm ourselves.
