The Pygmalion effect, also known as the Rosenthal effect, refers to the phenomenon where higher expectations lead to an increase in performance. It is named after the character Pygmalion from Greek mythology, who sculpted a statue of a woman that was so beautiful he fell in love with it. In the context of psychology and education, the Pygmalion effect suggests that if a person believes that someone else has high expectations of them, they are more likely to perform better to meet those expectations. This effect has been observed in various settings, including schools, workplaces, and interpersonal relationships. It highlights the influence of expectations on behaviour and performance.
