savaime išsipildanti pranšystė


Definition from own experience or research:
Numatytas įvykis, kuris įvyksta todėl, kad jis laukiamas.

Example sentence(s):
  • Kas iš jūsų esatę girdėję šį terminą. Savaime išsipidanti pranašystė (self fullfiling prophecy), yra susijusi su mūsų mąstymu apie ateitį ir praeities aiškinimu. Geriausiai šią koncepcija atskleisti per pavyzdį: Tu manai, kad neišlaikysi egzamino (pranšystė). Tuomet pradedi mažiau mokintis, nes kam vargti jei vistiek neišlaikysi? (pakitęs elgesys) Ir tuomet tu neišlaikai egzamino ir mąstai, na va aš buvau teisus (įrodymas, kad pranašystė buvo teisinga). - forum (www.mintys.lt)
