Understanding psychology is crucial for college students as it influences their mindset, shaping attitudes towards learning, failure, and growth. The concepts of fixed and growth mindsets play a significant role in determining how students approach challenges and view intelligence. Research by Carol Dweck highlights the importance of mindset in promoting positive change in various contexts. Embracing a growth mindset can lead to enhanced motivation, persistence, and resilience in academic pursuits.

  2. Mindset Attitude A positive or negative evaluation of people, objects, events, activities, or ideas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attitude_(psychology)#Definitions

  3. Mindset Fixed ( Entity ) Mindset Growth ( incremental ) Mindset View of Intelligence Intelligence is set by genes and early environment. It cannot be changed with practice / effort. Intelligence is highly malleable, and depends on persistence and attitude. Examples I m not a good at foreign languages. I m a language person, not a math person. My math (or language, etc.) skills will improve as I practice. Response to Failure Failures reveal fundamentally unchangeable limitations. Failures point directly to where learning and growth are possible. Response Toward Challenging Tasks Challenging tasks should be avoided because they reveal my limitations, which can t be changed. Challenging tasks are desirable because they generate failures that inform me how to improve. Challenges make me smarter.
