Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dweck and her colleagues taught incremental views to a group of junior high students and found that the group's grades improved. This suggests that having an incremental view, which emphasizes the belief that abilities can be developed through hard work and dedication, can lead to improved academic performance. On the other hand, an entity view, which emphasizes the belief that abilities are fixed and cannot be changed, can lead to a lack of motivation and less effort put into academic tasks.
