A social psycology glossary:
The process by which someone's expectations about a person or group leads to the fulfillment of those expectations.
Example sentences:
Whether or not a teacher is aware of it, the self-fulfilling prophecy is at work, impacting students either to their benefit or their detriment. (Educational psycology)
According to The Law of Self-fulfilling Prophecy, people respond the way you expect them to respond. You get what you expect. (terrybragg.com )
However, those who see technical analysis as a self-fulfilling prophecy argue that these indicators are "right" only because extremely large numbers of people base trading decisions on these same indicators, thereby using the same information to take their positions, and, in turn, pushing the price in the predicted direction.

selvoppfyllende profeti
Definition from
Wikipedia:
Et selvoppfyllende profeti er en spådom eller et profeti som går i oppfyllelse bare fordi den blir ytret.
Example sentences:
Selvoppfyllende profetier er det samme som den universielle lov om TILTREKKING. Kraften er enorm og man klare det utroligste. “Fordi vi forventet at noe skulle skje, så handlet vi ubevisst på en måte som sannsynliggjorde at dette ville skje – og det skjedde.”. Den voldsomme kraften virker, både positivt og negativt. (motivational blog)
