Read this article about Rosenthal and Jacobsen and tick the answers that are mentioned in the article.

"Rosenthal and Jacobsen studied a school, where teachers label some students in the school as 'geniuses'. This resulted the 'geniuses' to have better exam results than those who haven't been labelled as geniuses. This created the concept of a 'self-fulfilling prophecy', where people live up to their label from a positive (e.g. being called a genius) or negative (e.g. being called a moron) label, which positively or negatively affects their exam results, even though the 'geniuses' aren't actually smarter than the people who haven't been labelled."

Selecciona una o más de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • The article mentions the idea of living up to your label, also known as a self fulfilling prophecy.

  • People who have been positively labelled have better exam results than those who haven't.

  • Teachers have labelled or not labelled students.

  • There has been no difference in exam results between people who have or haven't been labelled.
