Expectations of Others worksheet

What is the theory behind the worksheet?

The current worksheet is based on the Rational Expectations Theory, which has its roots in macroeconomics. According to it, an individual will form beliefs with available information, past experiences, and logic (Berger, 1991). Beliefs about others are formed with the available information about others’ skills and abilities (Berger et al., 1972).

How will the worksheet help?

This worksheet will help practitioners in assessing their clients’ expectations of the people around them.

How to use the worksheet?

Do you sometimes reflex on how you want the people around you (or even strangers) to behave in your presence? What we expect from others is often biased and has nothing to do with reality. When the expectations are high we can fall into the trap of disappointment.
