The article presents the dependence of the behavior from the self-image and formation of self-image under the influence of others. If we treat aggressive man calmly and without fear, we give him the signal that „you are good”, and if we are convincing, then behavior of the aggressor becomes good, because it is consistent with his positive self-image. This method can be used in upbringing of children, resolution of conflicts and preventing aggression. The article gives a number of examples where people dealing aggressors without fear and with peace, came out safely from a very difficult situations.

This paper discusses the issues of labelling, normality and social deviation. I focus on the sociological and socio-psychological aspects of these topics in light of their importance for pedagogy. Labelling mainly concerns the ways in which the formal and constitutive institutions of social control, including schools, respond to behaviour. Mainly children and young people are "marked" or labelled according to both their existing and presumed patterns of deviant behaviour.School, as a social institution, expects its students to be normal. It has the power to define normality and, moreover, a network of social control to achieve it. However, from the perspective of the school it is very important not to prematurely label pupils negatively during the selection process. On the contrary, school should enable as many pupils as possible to contribute successfully towards the requirements of a knowledge society. Research indicates that there is a correlation between a child's school performance and the perceptions and expectations held by the teacher. Recent studies, concerning for example violence at school, have shown how strongly the aggressive behaviour of pupils is connected to the teacher's behaviour.The theory of labelling is concerned with the fundamental question of why some individuals and groups are branded as deviating from norms more often than others. Stigma is a relative phenomenon; it is the result of successful labelling, delivering a punitive and disapproving response. In order to better understand labelling, the concepts of social norms and social deviance also require clarification.

The article presents research on expectancy effect, described as effective attempt to predict the unspecific future. Studies on interpersonal expectancy effect, which have almost a hundred year’s tradition in social sciences, have been analyzed in detail. Due to the review/survey two important implications have been formulated: a methodological one (concerning the research course in social sciences) and a practical one (concerning the responsibility of those, whose expectations have, by definition, stronger prime mover in a given social interaction).

The financial crisis as a realization of self-fulfilling prophecy reveals an important ethical dilemma of journalist’s responsibility. The dilemma is expressed in a question, if one should publish the information on crisis, since the publication probably increases the degree of crisis. The difficulty to answer this question points to the shortcomings of the standard conception of moral reasoning and to an approach to the relation between general normative theory and applied ethics. Instead of the standard conception the author proposes a „grammatical” account of general/applied ethics relation, connected with the Wittgenstein’s approach to the question of necessity in mathematics and other non-descriptive disciplines.

The author’s motivation for undertaking this research was his own anxieties; anxieties arising from the global ecological and environmental emergency. The aim of my research was to determine young people’s awareness of the climate emergency and their agency (possible actions) related to remedying this phenomenon. In conducting the research, a mixed quantitative and qualitative strategy was used with an online survey, thus examining the opinions of the respondents. The text analyses the answers to questions eliciting opinions on the climate and environmental emergency (a term used in one of the European Parliament’s relevant resolutions), with particular regard to the possibility of stopping the aforementioned crisis. Respondents were primary and secondary pupils, and university students. Among the conclusions, the following should be singled out: 90.3% of respondents agree that we are dealing with an ecological and environmental emergency, but only 12.5% believe that we will stop the crisis, while 29.8% do not, and 57.7% do not know. Most importantly, the analysis of young people’s statements reveals the pessimistic nature of their opinions, revealing the fading hope of remedying the emergency. In combination with the literature review, this sends an alarming message about the need to act not only to deal with the crisis but also in the field of information addressed to all social groups. In summary, there is evident fear that predictions of disaster may turn out to be self-fulfilling prophecies (as defined by Robert K. Merton). The demonstrated ability of young people to influence politicians offers us a hope that we might prevent such a disaster. For such action to succeed, it needs to take place both inside and outside of schools and universities.

The article presents research on the effect of interpersonal expectations. The mechanism of transforming expectations into the phenomenon of self-fulfilling prophecy in education (Pygmalion effect) is presented. As implications of the presented knowledge for teachers, the Teacher Expectation and Student Achievement (TESA) program was analyzed, and a “list of questions for reflection” was included as an aid in self-evaluation.

W artykule zaprezentowano badania nad efektem oczekiwań interpersonalnych. Przedstawiono też mechanizm przekształcania się oczekiwań w zjawisko samosprawdzającej się przepowiedni w edukacji (efekt Pigmaliona). Implikację ukazanej wiedzy dla nauczycieli stanowi analiza programu Oczekiwania Nauczyciela i Osiągnięcia Ucznia (TESA). Ponadto uwzględniono tzw. listę pytań do refleksji, stanowiących pomoc w samoewaluacji.
