摘要

在中国，龙的人被认为注定会成就伟业。我们发现，如果中国学生出生在龙年，他们更有可能获得大学学位，并获得更高的大学入学考试成绩。同样，中国中学的龙学生考试成绩也更高。当我们考虑到父母对孩子的期望时，对考试成绩的“龙效应”就被消除了。属龙的父母有更高的期望，他们在孩子身上投入更多。虽然龙的孩子并没有天生的不同，但对成功的预言和随之而来的投资的信念变得自我实现。

Can Superstition Create a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy? School Outcomes of Dragon Children in China

In China, those who have a dragon zodiac sign are believed to be destined for greatness. We find that if Chinese students are born in a dragon year, they are more likely to have a college degree and receive higher university entrance exam scores. Similarly, Chinese middle school dragon students have higher test scores. The “dragon effect” on test scores is eliminated when we account for parents’ expectations of their children. Dragon parents have higher expectations, and they invest more in their children. Although dragon children are not inherently different, the belief in the prophecy of success and the ensuing investment become self-fulfilling.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
