The Pygmalion Effect : Why What You Think Matters Because Of Quantum Physics

The Pygmalion Effect - Why What You Think the Outcome Will Be Matters and How Quantum Physics May Explain How It Works

By Andrew Anderson

00:12 Positive Thinking Affects the Outcome

So, you think you are going to do well with your next Marketing Campaign or dealing with a loved one or colleague? Wondering if you are going to lose weight on the new diet perhaps? Or maybe even thinking if you can do well trying Intermittent Fasting and Keto?

This is good because of the Pygmalion Effect. We now know that it impacts the outcome of your campaign, the outcome of the interaction you will have with that person, the outcome of your health goals, and the outcome of the date, or interaction with a loved one… Believe it or not.

And now, Quantum Physics may be the key as to why if we think we are going to accomplish something, we succeed. Or if we do not think we will, then we don’t. How we think may matter far, far, far more than we ever thought!

There is one other connection as well. Have you ever heard the phrase "Birds Of A Feather, Flock Together”? Under this new theory in Quantum Physics, this is all tied together. There have been some recent experiments in Quantum Physics that prove this theory to a scary degree. The experiments prove that intention does indeed have a measurable effect on the outcome of Quantum reactions.

Every once in a while, a light bulb goes on for me when thoughts come together that have been brewing for some time. I happened to be going through some of the piles of books that I have and came across “The Power of Positive Thinking In Business” by Scott W Ventrella. I had read and own a first-run copy of Norman Vincent Peal’s classic, “The Power of Positive Thinking”. Good book indeed and it runs along with “As A Man Thinketh” by James Allen. I had casually read through “The Power of Positive Thinking” before and it had not tripped my trigger, although I had lent it out to several people and one person in particular gave it credit for changing the course of her career and leading her to go back to school for her Master's Degree and changed her career and life.  

Then I came across this in my search for the impact of positive thinking:   This is called the Pygmalion Effect. You see, in Greek mythology, there was a sculptor who sculpted a beautiful woman. He poured his heart, soul, and all of his skill into the sculpture.
 He named her Galatea. It was so perfect that he fell in love with it and he wished it were a real woman. The goddess Venus saw this and actually made Galatea into a real live woman. Thus, the origin of the term The Pygmalion effect, where you get what you wish or expect.

02:41 Dr Rosenthal Experiment

Spring forward several thousand years and we end up with one Dr Rosenthal of Harvard. He did a famous experiment where he went to a school and pulled the names of three teachers out of a hat at random. He also pulled the names of some students at random. He then told the teachers that they were the three best teachers in the school and that they were going to be getting the best students to see how well they could do with them.  At the end of the year, on average, the students’ performance was 20% to 30% higher than the rest of the school. This experiment was conducted over 300 times with similar results.

What was funny, or perhaps not, is that rather than this being embraced and implemented on a wide scale in schools across the country, this caused a flurry of criticism within the teaching community. as they claimed the results to be irrelevant. At first, this may seem like a contradiction.

As Ayn Rand famously said, “Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think that you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find one of them is wrong.”

“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” - Peter F Drucker

All you have to do is look and you will see this with a great many of the successful entrepreneurs and companies out there. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffet, Richard Branson, Myron Golden, and Ashley Qualls all have one thing in common. They expect success from themselves and those around them.
