Psychology professor discusses 'growth' versus 'fixed' minds



Uploaded by: sbstocker
Video Description:
In a conversation with Stanford Report writer Lisa Trei, psychologist Carol Dweck says people's self-theories about intelligence have a profound influence on their motivation to learn. Those who hold a "fixed" theory are mainly concerned with how smart they are—they prefer tasks they can already do well and avoid ones on which they may make mistakes and not look smart. In contrast, she says, people who believe in a "growth" theory of intelligence want to challenge themselves to increase their abilities, even if they fail at first.

ContractVoid. you say "we all have the ability to know more, but we don't all have the same ability to utilize the information" as if you cant grow to be better in utilizing your knowledge, like you have a set Intellect.. Thats rediculis ofcourse anyone can improve your ways of utilizing "and transmiting" there knowlege & information one learns. "there Intellect" Its called practice makes perfect. i believe no ones capabilities have a set limit except for the people who think that intelligence

It's a combination ... ( 2 months ago by TheClearOne)
It's a combination of both stories actually. Your brain comes with a basic intelligence. For some that's an IQ of 95 and for some it's 120 or even higher. The person with this IQ of 95 can train his brain like a muscle and reach 110. The person with an IQ of 120 might be able to reach 130+. So ye, you can actually get smarter, but you are still limited. Just like muscles basically. Not every body builder can get as muscular as any other one.
your a clear ... ( 1 month ago by me0wzilla)
your a clear dickhead. why are people limited? Who is to say that a person with 95 can't get higher than a 120 iq person?
These are just beliefs based upon what hasn't been done yet. Just cause it hasn't doesn't mean it won't. I'm going to guess that it can be done just that no body has pursued it that far. Eg, they have pursued increase in intelligence from 95 to 110 but not decided to pursue a further increase.
And now i am a ... ( 1 month ago by TheClearOne)
And now i am a dickhead why exactly? Do you think it strengthens your point of view when you call me names? It's basically just very immature. Anyway.. Yes you are right. We might also be able to read others minds.(/sarcasm) It just hasn't been done yet. One with an IQ of 90 might reach 140 if he devotes his life to training it yes. But what is the point in devoting your life to training your brain from 90 to 140 when that leaves no time to put it to good use..? So yes you are limited. Final.

You're not answering my questions and showing a lot of signs of limitation. So i'm going to end this conversation right here. Byebye. :)

the name was cause it was funny to say.. the clear one is a clear dickhead..
Secondly your argument is flawed because you assume it is going to take a lifetime to achieve that level? Who is to say it is going to? My original argument was that no one pursued it long enough to find out not that long enough equaled a life time.
The only limitation ... ( 1 month ago by me0wzilla)
The only limitation here is in your ability to reason and see possibility further than what has happened to date. Remember this, they all thought that the 4minute mile was unbreakable until it was broken. This goes for exactly what this lady is speaking about, growth or improvement is unlimited in its potential. One method of growth or improvement may have a different affect than another. Leading to significantly different gains in the same time period.
No, you are not ... ( 1 month ago by TheClearOne)
No, you are not getting my point. People have limitations per definition. That we do not know what those limitations are is true and i have never stated otherwise. I have however stated that a smart person has more potential to reach great intelligence when given the same amount of time to a less smart person. You can not deny that. Someone that is born with an IQ of 90 can NEVER reach the same IQ score as someone that is born with an IQ of 130. And that is not was she is saying either.

In other words, she is not talking IQ score. She defines intelligence in another way.

Though i think that living up to the "labels" we're given is nonsence. You have to live up to your potential...no matter what other people say.

can someone please give me the transcript of this video? i just can't make out what she's saying in the sentence "they base their activities on whether their intelligence will be shown to ? it". thanks

"Someone that is born with an IQ of 90 can NEVER reach the same IQ score as someone that is born with an IQ of 130."
I doubt if that is true. IQ needn't be a fixed state. IQ changes due to circumstances (like stress or studies even suggest due to simple things like texting.. I know, strange). Often IQ Tests seem to have questions that can be answered by studying the type of questions lots, which doesn't necessarily need a profound type of intelligence. I'm pretty positive one can better ones IQ
