Kara has behavioral problems as a young child. as she goes through school, she is labeled "troubled," and told she will never amount to anything. kara, though intelligent, decides to "live down" to this expectation. which sociological perspective would be most interested in studying kara's experience ? symbolic interactionism conflict theory functionalism feminist theory

I believe the answer is: Symbolic interactionism

Symbolic interactionism refers the social interraction that rely mostly on gestural communication and subjective interpretation.
Sociologist with this view tend to be really curious on how a person subjectively interpret the social interraction that made with other people and how that interpretation could modify that person's behavior.
