Symbolic Interactionism: Labeling and the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Soc 0665's labeling theory applies here: a label like "low achiever" can become a self-fulfilling prophecy a student lives up to.
Show
A researcher posing as a student was told by an unwitting teacher he would never amount to anything, a label a student cannot shrug off.
Watch for
This entry applies Soc 0665's mechanism to schooling; it does not reintroduce what a label is.
