Dweck, Carol S. Bergen, Randall Scott 2011-05-07T14:20:41Z 2011-05-07T14:20:41Z 10000-01-01 1991 "Dweck & Leggett (1988) hypothesized that people's ""theories"" of intelligence (beliefs about the degree to which intelligence can be increased) make them vulnerable to helpless or mastery-oriented behavior following failure. I hypothesized that ""generality beliefs"" (beliefs about the degree to which intelligence is generally instrumental for achieving goals) would influence the intensity and scope of reactions to failure. Results of two studies supported the hypotheses. Students who believed intelligence was unchangeable but generally instrumental tended to perform better than others before and after an intellectual failure, but withdrew and showed defensive tendencies in the face of prolonged failure. Students who believed intelligence could be changed and that it was generally instrumental showed greater persistence in the face of prolonged failure. Students who believed intelligence had a narrow influence in life showed relatively neutral reactions. Implications for current attribution models of achievement-related behaviors are discussed."
