Document Summary
The judgments others make of your personality reflect a significant part of your social world, so their importance goes beyond their value as accurate descriptions. Your reputation matters because it greatly affects both opportunities and expectancies. Because shy people spend a lot of time by themselves, they deny themselves the opportunity to develop normal social skills. When they do venture out, they are so out of practice that they may not know how to act. Can affect both intellectual performance and social behavior. High-expectancy students perform better because their teachers treat them differently in 4 ways. Climate - the way teachers project a warmer emotional attitude toward students they expect to do well. Feedback - teachers giving feedback that"s more differentiated. Input - the way teachers attempt to teach more material and more difficult material. Output - how teachers give them extra opportunieies to show what they have learned. Snyder and colleagues - college students talking on phone.
