Editing Pygmalion effect (section)

== Mediator - The Galatea effect ==
The second mediator of the Pygmalion effect is the direct result of PLS, labeled by Eden and Ravid as the Galatea effect,<ref name="Pygmalion versus self-expectancy: E">{{cite journal |last1=Eden |first1=Dov |last2=Ravid |first2=Gad |title=Pygmalion versus self-expectancy: Effects of instructor- and self-expectancy on trainee performance |journal=Organizational Behavior and Human Performance |date=1 December 1982 |volume=30 |issue=3 |pages=351–364 |doi=10.1016/0030-5073(82)90225-2}}</ref> which is the effect of directly manipulating trainees' self-expectations of themselves. The PLS leadership behaviors have the chance to raise trainees' expectations of their performance. In the IDF training program study, Eden and Ravid observed that raising instructors' expectations for particular trainees led to both greater performance (the Pygmalion effect) and increased self-expectations for those trainees.<ref name="Pygmalion versus self-expectancy: E"/> The research also demonstrated that improving these trainees' performance levels may be accomplished by directly raising their expectations by telling them—rather than their instructors—that they had high potential.
