Through the mechanism of selective perception, Professor Silva reinforces her stereotype of student athletes. Selective perception is a cognitive bias which causes individuals to pay attention to information that confirms their preconceptions and to ignore information that contradicts them. In this scenario, Professor Silva takes note of every instance that aligns with her belief that athletes are academically poor, while disregarding any evidence to the contrary. This reinforces her initial stereotype, making a self-fulfilling prophecy more likely where the expectations she sets based on these stereotypes could influence athletes’ academic performance negatively. It’s important for educators to be aware of their biases and to make conscious efforts to maintain professionalism as teachers, as these biases can profoundly affect their interactions with and assessments of students.
