Please note: The word "instinct" is used in this excerpt. I suggest this is merely a colloquially usage, as the characteristics to which it refers differ from those which define actual instincts. "Habit" may be a more appropriate term in these cases (and habits can be changed).

Any empirical work on this subject? Yes. See the work by Rosenthal and others in the opening posts of this thread.

I was hoping to see the paper instead of a report on a paper. The paper should have the methods/design and results. I would like to see the statistics on this.

I am surprised to find any cognitive psychologist who is not already familiar with Rosenthal's work, especially the Oak School experiment. The research was published as: Rosenthal, Robert and Jacobson, Lenore. Pygmalion in the Classroom: Teacher Expectation and Pupils' Intellectual Development. Irvington Publishers: New York, 1992. It does not seem to have been posted online but it is available in print. Here is link to a fairly detailed account of the study: Pygmalion In The Classroom.

I am familiar with the work, at least what is available. I do like to see the quantitative results. Just a peeve of mine.
