Carol Dweck

Carol Dweck is a renowned psychologist known for her research on motivation, mindset, and education. She introduced the concepts of "fixed mindset" and "growth mindset." A fixed mindset believes abilities and intelligence are static, leading to avoidance of challenges. In contrast, a growth mindset sees them as qualities that can be developed through effort and learning. This perspective encourages resilience and a love for learning. Dweck's work has significant implications for personal development, teaching, and parenting, demonstrating that fostering a growth mindset can enhance achievement and well-being.
