She too is unhappy with how the “mindset” idea has too often been misused - even to the extent of “blaming the victim”). I admire her forthrightness here: "Maybe we originally put too much emphasis on sheer effort. Maybe we made the development of a growth mindset sound too easy. Maybe we talked too much about people having one mindset or the other, rather than portraying people as mixtures." I’d love to hear from more researchers who wrote about their theories and then reflected on where they think maybe they went a little wrong. It would show students that researchers are human and theories aren’t written in stone. Michael Michael A.
