Children who are rewarded for effort and choose harder problems perform better than children who are praised for their intelligence. Giving feedback attached to a child's identity can negatively impact their performance, while praising effort can lead to improved performance. It is important for parents and teachers to be cautious in giving feedback and avoid using identity labels. The study also found that children who received intelligence praise performed worse, while those who received effort praise performed better. This bidirectional effect highlights the importance of rewarding effort rather than using identity labels for performance improvement.
