Beliefs about intelligence and growth mindset

Beliefs about intelligence influence behavior and goals. According to Carol Dweck's research on mindset, some people have a fixed mindset, believing that intelligence is fixed and unchangeable, while others have a growth mindset, believing that intelligence can be developed through learning. Those with a fixed mindset tend to seek validation of their intelligence and avoid failure, while those with a growth mindset are more likely to embrace challenges and view failure as an opportunity to learn and grow.
