Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Being positive Pygmalions involves recognizing that a person's behavior can affect others. This understanding can help managers act in ways that encourage positive behavior and outcomes from their employees. Choice A is incorrect because individuals base their evaluations on multiple attributes, not just one. Choice B is incorrect because people often do not fully understand the causes of their behavior. Choice D is incorrect because people may not necessarily see their own traits in others.
