Carol Dweck

Date of Birth:

17-Oct-1946

Nationality:

United States

Profession:

Psychologist

Psychologist Carol Dweck is considered a pioneer in the field of human research. She is best known for her research on broad beliefs of ingenuity and how mindsets influence inspiration and success. According to Dweck, people with an intellectual perspective, or who believe that talent and skill are innate qualities, have something known as a mindset set. Those who believe that intelligence, talent, and skills can be developed by diligently grabbing what they call intellectual growth. Such thinking can play a vital role in how people deal with challenges and how they persevere in the face of obstacles. She believes that such thoughts, in turn, can be stimulated by communication during adolescence. Children who are commended for their efforts are likely to grow up with a sense of accomplishment.

QUOTES BY Carol Dweck

I don’t mind losing as long as I see improvement or I feel I’ve done as well as I possibly could.

When you enter a mindset, you enter a new world. In one world (the world of fixed traits) success is about proving you’re smart or talented. Validating yourself. In the other (the world of changing qualities) it’s about stretching yourself to learn something new. Developing yourself.

Why waste time proving over and over how great you are, when you could be getting better? Carol S. Dweck
