samoispunjavajuće proročanstvo


Definition from own experience or research:
Pozitivna ili negativna očekivanja u vezi događaja ili ljudi koja mogu da utiču na ponašanje pojedinca, tako da on nesvesno kreira situacije u kojima se ova očekivanja ostvaruju.

Example sentence(s):
  • Uporno tretiranje jednog dela građana - omladine imigrantskog porekla iz predgrađa - kao sumnjivog, "prirodno" sklonog nasilju i kao potencijalnog neprijatelja - moglo bi se u budućnosti pokazati kao samoispunjavajuće proročanstvo. - Naučni članak  
  • “Kada se dakle govori da ce biti drustvenih sukoba na jesen to moze da spada u ono sto se zove samoispunjavajuce prorocanstvo. Ako vlada nastavi da prica da ce na jesen biti velikih socijalnih nemira nije uopste iskljuceno da ljudi prihvate tu pricu i da se upuste u socijalne nemire a onda ce biti mnogo teze o svemu tome pregovarati. - B92 Vesti  
  • I ova situacija je potvrdila da pozorište i danas, kao u antičko doba, predstavlja suočavanje jedne zajednice, polisa, sa samim sobom. S druge strane, pozorište je, još od priča o kralju Edipu, samoispunjavajuće proročanstvo. - Nin
