CAROL DWECK: FIXED MINDSET<br />

VS. GROWTH MINDSET<br />

Fixed Mindset<br />

o Child assumes that you<br />

either have talent or<br />

you do not (e.g., “I am<br />

smart.” or “I am not<br />

creative.”).<br />

o Problem: Every failure<br />

becomes evidence that<br />

child is “stupid” <strong>and</strong><br />

that nothing can be<br />

done to change that<br />

sentiment.<br />

Growth Mindset<br />

o Child assumes that<br />

intelligence, talent, etc.<br />

is not an either/or<br />

situation.<br />

o These characteristics<br />

are built by hard work<br />

LINK BETWEEN “FIXED MINDSET” AND<br />

ANXIETY & OCD:<br />

ATTRIBUTION THEORY<br />

An attribution is the explanation we give<br />

ourselves for why something happened.<br />

Our attributions shape our beliefs <strong>and</strong> our<br />

behaviors.<br />

Thus, if we change a patient’s attribution, we<br />

can change his or her belief set <strong>and</strong><br />

behaviors.<br />
