Question
Listen to a psychologist talking about fixed and growth mindsets and make notes in the table.
Answer
Fixed mindset
- Personal characteristics → set in stone, cannot be changed or improved
- Intelligence → inborn, those with the required ability will succeed naturally and without effort
- Challenges → may feel uncomfortable and think it's a waste of time because individual action cannot save the planet
- Feedback → hate it, because they have to open themselves up to the criticism
- Change → do not like taking any risks or any type of change
Growth mindset
- Personal characteristics → can be developed by working hard and look to others for inspiration
- Intelligence → can be developed through experience, so they often take challenges to learn new things
- Challenges → you'll take on the challenge because you believe you might make the difference
- Feedback → welcome it, since they see it as an opportunity to learn and improve
- Change → acknowledge the changes they have gone through and that the world needs change and hope to be an active part of this change
