Mindset

“There was some multi-syllabic, multi-word phrase, and I believe she had to come up with some terminology when she was writing her first, last, only, at least for now, popular book for a lay audience and you know implicit theories of intelligence. And you know incremental versus whatever, these were not going to fly, and so 'growth mindset' ended up”

“So this is the essence of growth mindset long before Carol Dweck coined the phrase 'growth mindset.'”

“Then my colleague Carol Dweck, also in the Psychology Department at Stanford, most famously known for her work on mindset, did an experiment in which she essentially asked whether or not tenacity and willpower are limited as a sort of resource and also whether or not they’re linked to glucose availability, fuel, in the brain and body.”

“The study I'd like to briefly discuss exemplifies the groundwork that led to the discovery of growth mindset, authored by Dr. Carol Dweck and her colleague Claudia Mueller. The title of this important paper is 'Praise for Intelligence Can Undermine Children's Motivation and Performance.' This finding should be surprising: praise for intelligence can indeed undermine motivation and performance.”

“Growth mindset is the incredible discovery and research papers from my colleague Dr. Carol Dweck in the psychology department at Stanford. And there are others, such as David Yeager at the University of Texas Austin, who have leveraged the so-called growth mindset as a tool that young people and adults alike can use in order to get better at anything.”

“We have mindsets about various things, including stress, intelligence (as shown in Carol Dweck's work), food, and medicine. These are essentially core beliefs or assumptions that shape and orient our thinking and actions.”

“Many people are familiar with Carol Dweck's concept of growth mindset, which suggests that instead of seeing ourselves as not proficient at something, we should think of it as not being proficient yet and that we are on a journey to proficiency.”

“when carol dweck gets stamford's mindset she means attitude towards learning”
