This is an example of which of the following? Presenting self Reflected appraisal Identity management Self-fulfilling prophecy

Answer 1

This is an example of a **self-fulfilling prophecy**.A self-fulfilling prophecy occurs when a person's expectations about a situation lead them to behave in ways that cause those expectations to come true. Joanna expects to be rejected, so she isolates herself. This behavior makes it more likely that she will be excluded by her classmates, thus fulfilling her initial expectation. She is inadvertently creating the very situation she fears.
