Why Believing in Someone Makes Them Better | Rosenthal Effect #shorts

The Rosenthal Effect, also known as the Pygmalion Effect, shows how expectations shape performance. When you believe in someone, you trigger growth; when you doubt them, you hold them back. Psychologist Robert Rosenthal demonstrated this through experiments with students and animals. The effect applies to parenting, teaching, leadership, and relationships, illustrating that belief is a powerful tool for change. By believing in someone's potential, they rise; by labeling them incapable, they shrink to meet that label. Understanding this effect can transform how we motivate, lead, and inspire others.
