Perceptions versus interpretations, and domains for self-fulfilling prophesies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 March 2017
Abstract
I suggest two ways in which Jussim's extensive discussion (in his 2012 book) could be enriched: first, by exploring the distinction between perceptual judgments and interpretive judgments; second, by considering the power of expectations to be self-fulfilling in the case of young children and the case of fragile egos.
