from the integration and organization of particular types of knowledge. Once developed, they influence the categorization, interpretation, and comprehension of social events and behaviors. Self-schemas, in particular, are those cognitive structures that contain integrated and organized information about the self--the unique aspects of people's personality, abilities, achievements, interests, and appearance

Self–fulfilling prophecyThe concept of the self-fulfilling prophecy can be
summarized in these key principles:
- We form certain expectations of people or events - We communicate those expectations with various
cues. - People tend to respond to these cues by adjusting
their behavior to match them. - The result is that the original expectation becomes
true.
This creates a circle of self-fulfilling prophecies.
