In a community clinic, staff members tell volunteers that "people from that housing complex often don't follow instructions." During intake, a volunteer speaks more sharply to clients from the complex, gives them shorter explanations, and double-checks their forms more aggressively. Clients respond with less trust, ask fewer questions, and sometimes leave without completing paperwork. The volunteer later reports that these clients "proved" they are noncompliant. Based on the vignette, what outcome is most consistent with a self-fulfilling prophecy?
