Description

We see ourselves through the eyes of other people, even to the extent of incorporating their views of us into our own self-concept.

Example

Teenagers are often strongly influenced by their peers and will go beyond conforming to changing their self-image to match.

So what?

Using it

If you want someone to believe something about themselves, act towards them as if it were true.
