古希腊神话中,相传塞浦路斯岛上有个叫皮格马利翁的年轻国王,雕刻了一具象牙少女像。国王每天都脉脉含情地凝视着它。日复一日,奇迹终于发生了,少女真的活起来了。这就是期望效应。人们在生活中,也充满着各式各样的期望。有的期望于他人,有的期望于自己。期望,作为人类的一种普遍心理现象,是人们对事物未来状态的一种祈愿。我们这里谈的,是父母对子女的期望。 According to ancient Greek mythology, a young king named Pygmalion on the island of Cyprus is said to have carved a statue of an ivory girl. The king gazed at it affectionately every day. Day after day, a miracle finally happened, and the girl really lived up. This is the expectation effect. People in life, but also full of all kinds of expectations. Some expect others, some expect themselves. Expectations, as a universal psychological phenomenon of mankind, is a prayers for the future state of things. What we are talking about is the parents’ expectation of their children.
