Pygmalion Effect:A Qualitative Researchon The Impressions of Academics
Abstract
The aim of the research is to reveal the impressions of academics about self-fulfilling prophecy in detail. The research was designed as phenomenology. The sample of the research consists of academicians working at Van Yüzüncü Yıl University and selected by the deliberate sampling technique. It is aimed that the research will contribute to the readers by revealing the details about the causes, processes or results of the formation of self-fulfilling prophecy among academics. The data in the study were collected through a semi-structured interview form and evaluated by qualitative content analysis method. The research findings were presented in the form of eight themes. The themes include performance and responsibility awareness, individual capacity, self-efficacy and performance-based merit, openness to learning and desire for self-improvement, unemployment and lack of purpose, nepotism (favoritism), desire to be an academic, the possibility of being spoiled and age variables. The most frequently found themes are performance and responsibility awareness, individual capacity, self-efficacy and performance-based merit, and the least frequently found theme is the desire to become an academic. Developing a holistic and in-depth understanding of the mechanism of expectancy effects on academic achievement will be possible through qualitative research. In this context, the findings from the research are expected to lead to the development of new methods and approaches to maximize the impact of interventions related to expectancy effects, thereby enhancing academic performance. It is thought that the research will contribute to the elucidation of the process regarding the effect. It is also hoped that the findings will contribute to the literature.
