The ability of accuracy - motivated perceivers to form individuated impressions of targets and to avoid creating self - fulfilling prophecies is hypothesized to depend on sufficient attentional resources. Accuracy - motivated interviewers were led to believe that their applicants were either well suited for the job or not and were given either no task or a mildly or highly distracting task to complete during the interview. Consistent with past research, nondistracted accuracy - motivated interviewers neither created self - fulfilling prophecies nor formed expectation - consistent impressions. In contrast, highly distracted accuracy - motivated interviewers both created self -fulfilling prophecies and formed expectation - consistent impressions. Without sufficient attentional resources, even well - intentioned accuracy - motivated perceivers can fall prey to their inaccurate expectations and create inappropriate self - fulfilling prophecies.
