How Do Self-Fulfilling Prophecies Work

question 65

Multiple Choice

How do self-fulfilling prophecies work?

• B) We learn to be deviant through our interactions with others who break the rules.
• C) We tend to respond to the physical and social marks that discredit our identities and leave us vulnerable to negative social judgments.
• D) Our social locations are a crucial factor in determining how others see us; therefore, social status is the most important determinant of deviance.
• E) Our backgrounds do not determine deviance; rather, the in-the-moment emotional experience of a deviant action makes it seem like a good or bad idea.
