Question

multiple choice question
jana notices that one of her coworkers, evan, has been spending less time at work and suspects that he is going to quit. the next week evan tells her he is leaving for a new opportunity and apologizes for having been less attentive recently. is this an example of a self-fulfilling prophecy?
○ yes, because janas prediction was correct.
○ yes, because evan apologized for his poor behavior.
○ no, because janas expectations were not fulfilled.
○ no, because janas behavior did not influence whether evan quit his job.

Explanation:

A self-fulfilling prophecy requires a person's expectations to influence another's behavior, leading the expectation to come true. Here, Evan's decision to leave was already in progress before Jana's suspicion, and Jana's behavior did not cause Evan to quit.

Answer:

No, because Jana's behavior did not influence whether Evan quit his job.
