For a day, make a self-conscious effort to create self-fulfilling prophecies in your encounters with others by treating them as if you believed they were friendly, compassionate, and competent. (For the sake of ethics, restrict yourself to positive behaviors!) Keep a record of how people responded to your behavior as well as your own reactions to their behavior. How often did they confirm your expectations, and how did you feel when they did? If and when they didn’t, how did that make you feel? In general, what was it like to conduct this experiment? Discuss the actual data you collected as well as your findings and observations.
