What is the 'Pygmalion Effect' in psychology?
short by Dr. Sarthak Dave / on 11 Sep 2025,Thursday
The labels we receive often shape our identity. Psychiatrist Dr Sarthak Dave explains this through the Pygmalion effect, where expectations impact performance - doubt lowers confidence, while belief inspires growth. When others truly believe in us, we naturally rise to meet that vision. Thus, we can say, positive reinforcement proves far more effective than criticism in raising a child.
