Hello friends. In this video we will delve into the fourth key of giving compliments that motivate. It is important to praise it effort and perseverance rather than natural capacity, or until it praising others for their efforts and perseverance contributes to the development of a growth mindset that motivates the person to continue striving, and with time to achieve success. Praising someone for his intelligence or innate talent leads to a fixed mindset. He then tends to give up when things get difficult, because he concludes that he is not intelligent enough or capable enough to work at that level. Carol Dweck has made very interesting investigations related to the difference between fixed mindsets and growth mindsets first She divided the class into two groups and gave an easy test to both groups.

She praised the students in the first group by saying, You got a good grade, you must be very intelligent. She praised the students in the second group by saying, You got a good grade, you must have studied a lot. Then she gave them another test. Rather, she gave them the opportunity to choose between taking another easy test, in which they would be sure to do well, or a more difficult one, which would give them the opportunity to learn and grow. 67% of the students whom she had praised for their intelligence, chose the easy test 92% of the students whom she had praised for their effort, chose the more difficult test. This is the explanation given by black regarding the first group that was praised for itself.

Intelligence, the child or adult hears, Oh, you think I'm brilliant and talented. That's why you admire me. That's why you value me. I better not do anything that disproves this evaluation. As a result, they develop a fixed mindset. They play it safe in the future.

And they limit the growth of their talent. related to the second group work explains, focusing on the strategies they use, the way they are stretching themselves, and taking on hard tasks, the intense practice are doing. Those are the kinds of things that say to a child or to an older athlete, it's about the process of growth. As a result, they don't feel Oh, if I make a mistake, you won't think I'm talented. They think, oh, if I don't take on hard things and stick to them. I'm not going to grow Then what gave them attacks, that was almost impossible.

The students who had been praised for their efforts worked longer, tried harder, and had more positive feelings about the test. The students who had been praised for their intelligence became frustrated and gave up more rapidly. Finally, what gave them a test that was similar to the first one they had taken in which everyone had done well. Those who had been praised for their effort performed 30% better. However, those who have been praised for their intelligence went down 20%. The interpretation of these results could be those who consider that their capacity reflects a process of growth, probably thought that their capacity had increased your During the other tests, those that thought that the capacity was fixed, probably felt discouraged because of the difficulties they had faced.

In conclusion, praising effort, perseverance and learning leads to a growth mindset in which the person considers challenges as opportunities to learn and grow. Praising talent, intelligence, and innate capacity leads to a fixed mindset, in which the person is more concerned with creating a good impression than I'm drove. As a result, he or she avoids challenging tasks.
