The Impact of Feedback on Children's Behavior and Performance

The way feedback is given to children can have a significant impact on their behavior and performance. Feedback that focuses on intelligence or talent tends to lead children to select easier tasks that allow them to maintain the praise they received. On the other hand, feedback that emphasizes effort and persistence encourages children to choose more challenging tasks that offer opportunities for growth and learning. Children who are rewarded for their effort consistently outperform those who are praised for their intelligence. This study highlights the importance of providing feedback that reinforces engagement in the activity and effort rather than labels of identity. It also emphasizes the role of narratives from others in shaping behavior.
