Study done to assess whether parents' and children's perceptions of one another have reciprocal self-fulfilling prophecy effects on the others' behavior during mother-child and father-child interactions is presented. The results of the study suggests that the self-fulfilling prophecy effects observed were child-based rather than parent-based, were restricted to mother-child interactions, and occurred for perceptions of negative affective behaviors but not positive affective behaviors.
