Assignment:

A self-fulfilling prophecy occurs when an individual A has a preconceived expectation about another person B. The individual A reacts to the person B accordingly. This in turn causes person B to act in a way consistent with the original expectation. This week's discussion will examine schemas and self-fulfilling prophecies. Post answers to the following prompts in the appropriate Discussion topic:

Define schema in your own words and discuss whether you think schemas influence how events are interpreted.
Define self-fulfilling prophecy in your own words and how it might relate to an individual's schema.
