Close #replication of classic Mueller & Dweck (1998) mindset study shows that praising kids for their hard work or intelligence does NOT impact later performance, persistence, or task enjoyment. Great work from @timothycbates. #psychology #Education https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2019-50726-002 … pic.twitter.com/TH26ESZD53

  A pity. Growth mindset was a hopeful hypothesis.

  Interested in if it helps teens (16+) and older since this study was on ages 9-13. Still not a good signal for GM

  How does blank slate ideology fit with the 'all behaviour is learned' mantra?
