Carol Dweck Revisits the 'Growth Mindset'. Opinion By Carol Dweck For many years, I secretly worked on my research. I say “secretly” because, once upon a time, researchers simply published their research in professional journals—and there it stayed. However, my colleagues and I learned things we thought people needed to know. We found that students’ mindsets—how they perceive their abilities—played a key role in their motivation and achievement, and we found that if we changed students’ mindsets, we could boost their achievement. So a few years back, I published my book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success to share these discoveries with educators.

The New Psychology of Success (2000), Dweck developed a continuum upon which people can be placed, based upon their understandings about where ability comes from. For some people (at one end of said continuum), success (and failure) is based on innate ability (or the lack of it). Deck describes this as a fixed theory of intelligence, and argues that this gives rise to a ‘fixed mindset’. At the other end of the continuum are those people who believe success is based on a growth mindset. These individuals argue that success is based on learning, persistence and hard work.
According to Dweck: In a fixed mindset students believe their basic abilities, their intelligence, their talents, are just fixed traits. The crucial point for individuals is that these mindsets have a large impact upon our understanding of success and failure. Needless to say, this idea of mindsets has significant implications for education. Crucially, Dweck’s research is applicable to all people, not just students.

Summary of Mindset / Chapter 6 Summary of Mindset / Chapter 7 Summary of Mindset / Chapter 8 In the introduction and first chapter of “Mindset: The New Psychology of Success,” author Carol Dweck sets the stage for her new book by framing the basic concept of two different mindsets.
She begins with a story about beliefs, exploring where they come from and how they tend to both steer and determine many of the major decisions we make in our lives. She also announces her intent to explore that concept in a number of different arenas – sports, business, arts and science, and parenting, among others. In the actual chapter itself, Dweck starts by presenting a story about herself as a young researcher, when she became fascinated by the issue of how young people deal with failure. What the author quickly discovered was that, in a strange way, children loved failure. Mindset: The New Psychology of Success - Chapter 1.
