Name the statue

Pygmalion is the king of Cyprus in Greek mythology, and he is good at carving. He doesn't like ordinary women in Cyprus and decides never to get married. He carved a beautiful ivory girl with magical skills. Pygmalion worked day and night, giving this statue all his energy, all his passion and all his love. He caressed her like a wife, dressed her, named her Galatia, and begged God to make her his wife. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, was moved by him, gave life to the statues and married them. "pygmalion effect" has become synonymous with artistic induction as long as one has persistent pursuit of artistic objects.

Later, it was used in educational psychology, which is also called "expectation effect" and "Rosenthal effect". It means that teachers have different expectations for students, different methods for them, and different influences on students.

Pygmalion and Galatia (painting by Jerome, France)

Influence on the field of psychology: Pygmalion Effect: There are also translations of "Bimalone Effect" and "Bimalone Effect", which were put forward by famous American psychologists Robert Rosenthal and Jacobson respectively. They conducted an interesting study based on primitive myths. They found a school first, and then got a list of all the students in this school. After sampling, they provided the school with a list of students and told the school that they found through a test that these students had high talents, but they didn't show them in their studies. In fact, these are a few people randomly selected from the student list. Interestingly, in the test at the end of the school year, the academic performance of these students is indeed much higher than that of other students. Researchers believe that this is due to the influence of teachers' expectations. Because the teacher thinks that this student is a genius, he has higher expectations for him, pays more attention to him in class, and sends him the message that "you are excellent" in various ways. Students feel the teacher's attention, which has an incentive effect, redouble their efforts to study, and thus achieve good results. This phenomenon shows that teachers have different expectations, different ways to influence children, and different influences on children. Borrowing the name of the hero in Greek mythology, Rosenthal named it pygmalion effect. Also known as "Robert Rosenthal effect" or "expected effect". Say you can, you can, or you can't; Say you can't, you can't, you can't.
