The Golem Effect vs. Pygmalion Effect
The Pygmalion effect is somewhat known.
But do you also know the counterpart, the Golem effect ?
Both are based on a so-called self-fulfilling prophecy, but what exactly do they mean?
It Pygmalion effect is based on the Greek myth of Pygmalion , who made a perfect ivory image of a dream woman. He became so captivated by the image that he fell in love with it.
In education, but also in everyday life, the Pygmalion effect is also subconsciously applied. Sometimes teachers of certain children have high expectations, so that those children are treated differently. Because they get more and better interaction, they really get better.
In ordinary, everyday life, you will soon see people who are dressed stylishly as someone with status. Someone who is being listened to. Just think of the man in the tailored suit.
