A “dilemma” named for these statements is exemplified by the Osborne effect, named for a failed product release by the Osborne Computer Corporation. A book titled for these statements outlines five conditions to invoke “increased fervor,” including “the individual believer must have social support.” The headline “Clarion Call to City: Flee That Flood” inspired a book on the disconfirmation of these statements that followed a UFO religion called the Seekers. Festinger, Riecken, and Schachter wrote a social psychology book titled “When [this statement] Fails.” The “self-defeating” form of these statements contrasts with another form coined by Robert Merton, in which a person’s belief in something happening at least partly causes it to happen. For 10 points, name these statements that may be “self-fulfilling.” ■END■
