is postoperative pain a self fulfilling Prophecy expectancy effects on postoperative pain and patient controlled analgesia use among adolescent surgical patients
Journal of Pediatric Psychology, 2005Co-Authors: Deirdre E Logan, John B RoseAbstract:Objective To explore relationships among anxiety, anticipated pain, coping styles, postoperative pain, and patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) use among adolescent surgical patients and their parents. Methods Sixty-five 12- to 18-year-old surgical patients undergoing surgery with postoperative PCA pain management were included. Before surgery, adolescents and parents reported anxiety and expected levels of postoperative pain. Pain catastrophizing and coping style were assessed within 48 hr after surgery, with pain scores and PCA use recorded through the end of the second postoperative day. Results Adolescents' preoperative psychological characteristics (anxiety and anticipated pain) predicted postoperative pain scores, number of PCA injections and demands, and the PCA injections:demands ratio, with reports of anticipated pain associating most closely with these postoperative pain outcomes. Parental anxiety and anticipated pain did not predict teens' postoperative pain. Coping style did not moderate the relationship between anticipated pain and pain outcomes. Conclusions Findings are interpreted as suggesting a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy in adolescents' postoperative pain experience wherein teens who expect to have high levels of postoperative pain ultimately report more pain and use more opioid PCA medication than those who report lower levels of pain.

A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: linking belief to behavior.
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2011Co-Authors: Esther SternbergAbstract:The intriguing title "A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: linking belief to behavior" can be viewed from either philosophical or biological perspectives. This brief overview addresses the concept of Self-Fulfilling Prophecy from the point of view of a neurobiologist-immunologist and shows how Self-Fulfilling prophecies might trigger behaviors that play a role in healing.

the self fulfilling Prophecy in close relationships rejection sensitivity and rejection by romantic partners
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 1998Co-Authors: Geraldine Downey, Antonio L Freitas, Benjamin Michaelis, Hala KhouriAbstract:The authors hypothesized a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy wherein rejection expectancies lead people to behave in ways that elicit rejection from their dating partners. The hypothesis was tested in 2 studies of conflict in couples: (a) a longitudinal field study where couples provided daily-diary reports and (b) a lab study involving behavioral observations. Results from the field study showed that high rejection-sensitive (HRS) people's relationships were more likely to break up than those of low rejection-sensitive (LRS) people. Conflict processes that contribute to relationship erosion were revealed for HRS women but not for HRS men. Following naturally occurring relationship conflicts, HRS women's partners were more rejecting than were LRS women's partners. The lab study showed that HRS women's negative behavior during conflictual discussions helped explain their partners' more rejecting postconflict responses.

rewriting the self fulfilling Prophecy of social rejection self affirmation improves relational security and social behavior up to 2 months later
Psychological Science, 2011Co-Authors: Danu Anthony Stinson, Christine Logel, Steven Shepherd, Mark P. ZannaAbstract:Chronically insecure individuals often behave in ways that result in the very social rejection that they most fear. We predicted that this typical Self-Fulfilling Prophecy is not immutable. Self-affirmation may improve insecure individuals' relational security, and this improvement may allow them to express more welcoming social behavior. In a longitudinal experiment, a 15-min self-affirmation improved both the relational security and experimenter-rated social behavior of insecure participants up to 4 weeks after the initial intervention. Moreover, the extent to which self-affirmation improved insecure participants' relational security at 4 weeks predicted additional improvements in social behavior another 4 weeks after that. Our finding that insecure participants continued to reap the social benefits of self-affirmation up to 8 weeks after the initial intervention demonstrates that it is indeed possible to rewrite the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy of social rejection.
