The picture shows that the students was being called up to answer teacher’s question in the
classroom.As one of the students was responding to the questions,he thought that his answer was
right due to his own faith.This is his first impression that tend to believe his own ability that he is
able to answer the question correctly.This is where perseverance effect took place as the student
tend to stick up to newly formed beliefs even when the evidence for those beliefs is proved to be
wrong.This kind of effect may take place in any part of situation even when we are thinking of
something.The student tend to stand still for his answer as he has his reason for that answer and he
thinks that he has the chance to be the right one even though the teacher has proved that he is
wrong.
!
On the other hand,the other student tend to answer the another question being asked by the
teacher.And he got it correct.In this situation,that student predict that he will got the question being
answered correctly and itself has became true.This is where self-fulfilling prophecy takes
place.Even tough the student wasn’t really sure that his answer is correct but he answered with his
logical thinking and wish that it was correct.In the end,the prophecy has became true.
