#19 Could the Pygmallion effect be impacting individual mental health?
•

Today I want to ask the question, could the Pygmalion effect be having an impact on individual mental health outcomes?
The Pygmalion or Rosenthal effect is a psychological phenomenon in which the leader's high expectations can lead to improved performance and low expectations lead to worsened performance. Subconsciously influencing their actions and behaviours in relation to those individuals leading to the realisation of those expectations.
