Sociologists are interested in self-fulfilling prophecy because the way one thinks of themselves can be affected by how one interacts with others.
-For example, the teacher giving more attention to one student makes the student believe that they can do better in school.

This is because you can only self fulfill if you're motivated or given the opportunity. Most students aren't, a very select few are being "praised" by their teachers. These are the few that "self-fulfill" in a positive manner while other my self fulfill in a negative manner
