The Pygmalion Effect

The main idea about The Pygmalion Effect is that if you believe that someone is capable of achieving greatness, then that person will indeed achieve greatness. 　　71　 . 　　

　　　 　　72 　. A professor makes a bet that he can teach a poor flower girl to speak and act like an upper-class lady, and is successful.

The Pygmalion Effect may occur all around us whether it is in the workforce, at schools or even at home. Through the Pygmalion Effect, supervisors can create better employees just by believing in them. This is even truer when working with underachievers. 　73 　.

If, for instance, you tell a new teacher at a grammar school-who has no previous experience with her new to be students-that a particular young student of hers is extremely bright and clever, the new teacher will automatically be more supportive, more encouraging, teach more challenging material, be patient and allow that student more time to answer questions, and provide extra feedback to that student. The student receiving all this attention and absorbing in the teacher’s belief learns more and is, as a result, better in school. 　　74 　. The main concern is that this new teacher entirely believes that this student is bright and clever.　 75　 　. The manager must purely believe that his or her workers are high achievers, and the results the manager will receive are nothing less.

A. All it takes is really believing.

B. Whether the child is bright or not before hand does not necessarily matter.

C. In other words, believing in potential simply creates potential.

D. The person believed in, being believed, becomes the person whom they are believed to be.

E. The effect is named after George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion.

F. The Pygmalion Effect refers to situations in which students perform better than other students.

G. This is also the case for managers and workers.

　 Walking across the campus of Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon University one delightful spring day, I came upon a table filled with young people chatting and enjoying the fine weather. Several had identical blue T-shirts with “Trilogy @ CMU” written across them-Trilogy being an Austin, Texasbased software company with a reputation of recruiting(招聘) our top students. I walked over to the table. “Are you guys here to recruit?” I asked. “No, absolutely not,” they replied firmly. “We’re not recruiters. We’re just hanging out, playing a little frisbee with our friends.” How interesting, I thought. They’ve come to campus on a workday, all the way from Austin, just to hang out with some new friends.

　 As I later learned, they were gifted students who had inked the highest-paying deal in the history of their departments.

　 I asked one young man why he was going to a smaller city in Taxas. The company is excellent, he told me. There are also terrific people and the work is challenging. Though he had several good job offers from Pittsburgh’s high-tech firms and knew the city well, he said he felt the city lacked the life-styles options, cultural diversity, and tolerant attitude that would make it attractive to him. As he summed it up: “How would I fit in here?”

　 What a change from my own college days, just a little more than 20 years ago, when students would put on their dressiest clothes and carefully hide any counterculture tendencies to prove that they could fit in with the company. Today, apparently, it’s the company trying to fit in with the students.

　 These young men and their lifestyles represent a lively new force in the enonomy and life of America. They are members of what I call the creative class: a fast-growing, highly educated, and well-paid part of the workforce on whose efforts corporate profits and economic growth increasingly depend. They do not consciously think of themselves as a class. Yet they share a common belief that values creativity, individuality, difference, and advantage.
