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