expectation states theory and relationships  

Definición

  • In his book The Power of Positive Thinking, Norman Vincent Peale famously noted, “If you paint in your mind a picture of bright and happy expectations, you put yourself in a condition conducive to your goal.” As this quotation suggests, expectations are related to behavior and ultimately to success. Expectation States Theory, which was developed by Joseph Berger and his colleagues, helps explain how judgments about status influence perceptions and performance in task-oriented groups.
