Interpersonal Perception
Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
-
It is easy to formulate your own prophecy. Someone must make a prediction about a situation, then act as if the prediction were true. It eventually becomes true and can observe the effect on the event. 
The most common example would be thinking that someone dislikes you, since you believe this to be true it might actually become true due to personal actions.
-
I thought a patient hated me until the very end of the procedure when they said they noticed I was acting in a rude way since the very beginning. It can be seen that I let my prophecy actually become true.
Personality Theory
-
The halo effect can occur when people think that since someone has positive qualities, they must all be positive.
The same thing can occur as the halo effect but instead negative traits which is called the reverse halo effect.
I noticed a patient was very attractive and intelligent so I just automatically assumed that they would be friendly as well.
Perceptual Accentuation
It is something that causes people to believe what they want to believe.
If someone who is very hungry receives any visual cues of food they will instantly want it.
-
I noticed that my relationship was very successful, because that is what I wanted to notice and not the fact that it was slowly getting "washed up".
Primacy-Recency
-
A Primacy effect is when you let something that happened first effect the outcome of the entire event.
-
After watching a movie, the ending scene was really funny, which made me like the entire movie. I was acting out of the recency effect.
Consistency
-
I like a patient so I am just assuming that in return they would like me back.
-
-
Attribution of Control
-
People will label what someone did in either a good way or a bad way.
-
Self-Serving bias occurs when someone takes all the credit for the positive outcome, but in return wants nothing to do with the negative outcome.
When the patient was very pleased with their care in the hospital, I took all of the credit for caring for the patient. I was acting in a very self-serving way.
Overattribution is when someone takes a certain characteristic and blows it way out of proportion and compares all other characteristics or actions to that one characteristic.
Fundamental attribution error is when someone does not notice the influence of external factors, but puts emphasis on their contribution of internal factors.
