The Pygmalion Effect

Yes , Its one of those Days . The title sounds ridiculously mysterious. Doesn’t It. In many ways it is. Some people call it Pygmalion and some don’t call it anything . They just describe the Effect . But mention it they always do.

You may have read or heard about the well quoted experiments that were conducted with School Children entering a new Class.

Before the Year Started, the teacher was informed that out of a group 25 students, 5 in particular were outstandingly intelligent and would lead the class by leaps and bounds. In truth, however , the 5 students were picked at random and were no different intellectually than anyone else in the group.

But as the year went on, the 5 students brought to the teacher’s attention far surpassed everyone else in the group. In fact, it was almost embarrassing how far ahead those 5 students were at the end of the school year.

This experiment has come to be known as ” The Pygmalion Effect”

What it basically means is that Expectation alters behaviour and experience. If you expect to have fun, you’ll have a lot more fun than if you expect to be bored.  You’ll do a lot better at Internet Marketing or anything else if you expect to Succeed. If not you also won’t put in enough effort to succeed.

You’re going to have a ridiculously Great Day .
