Document Summary

*because of implicit belief about iq and fixedness (entity view with performance goals) or malleability (incremental view with learning goals) of it. *test different students" view on different children"s math trajectory. *those who believe in entity (fixed): thinks ascending trajectory (despite later improvement) is lower ability than descending (despite later decrease) *temporal = how we changed over time (preferred by incremental) (improved or declined) *normative = how are we compared to peers (preferred by entity) (better or worse than others) *gave bogus feedback (t or n) on performance: *entity children: rate their own ability success > failure. *incremental children: rate success and failure as similar. *in temporal feedback, entity children anchor on first evidence (declining>improving) and incremental children focused on later improvement (improving>declining) Lay dispositionism: using traits to predict behavior in specific situation. Behavior in one situation -> dispositional trait -> behavior in new situation -> go back.
