PSYC 1030- Intro to Psychology
For this activity, students will first complete a mindset assessment to learn about their current mindset. Next, students will review the attached article entitled "Building Growth Mindset" and answer the four questions posed by Bradley Busch in the article.
- Is their present effort worth their expected reward?
- Do you tend to feel threatened being with people who are successful?
- Do you typically spend time questioning or criticizing feedback you receive or taking positive action?
- Identify a setback, how would you treat the situation differently?
Our mindsets exist on a continuum from fixed to growth, and although we’d like to always have a growth mindset, the reality is that we can only be on a journey to a growth mindset. The goal is to recognize fixed mindset elements in ourselves and then reflect on feedback and strategies for how to improve.
The Mindset Assessment is a quick diagnostic tool drawn from research-validated measures for people age 12 and over to use to assess their mindsets. It has been used in many studies to show how mindsets can change, and can be used by you and your students to identify areas in which you can work toward a growth mindset. You will be delivered personalized feedback after you submit the assessment to your email. Please upload your results to the assignment dropbox.
