Boken Mindset har förändrat vårt sätt att prata om intelligens och förmåga till inlärning. Carol S. Dwecks banbrytande forskning om hur förmågor och prestationer utvecklas bygger på insikten att mänskliga egenskaper inte enbart är medfödda, utan något som kan påverkas av nya kunskaper och erfarenheter.

Att utmana sig själv ofta, gärna prova nytt och se misslyckanden som ett sätt att lära, är avgörande för både personligt och professionellt lärande. Dweck kallar det för att ha ett dynamiskt mindset, till skillnad från det statiska mindset som skapar bekräftelsebehov och rädsla att misslyckas.

Detta är en utökad utgåva av boken, där Dweck presenterar begreppet ”falskt dynamiskt mindset”. Med hjälp av det visar hon hur man kan undvika de vanligaste misstagen när man strävar efter att odla ett dynamiskt mindset. Läsaren får många tips och råd om hur man kan hjälpa sina barn, sina medarbetare eller sig själv att lära och utvecklas.

After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset-those who believe that abilities are fixed-are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset-those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment. In this edition, Dweck offers new insights into her now famous and broadly embraced concept. She introduces a phenomenon she calls false growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mindset, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and love-to transform their lives and your own.

Motivation and Self-Regulation across the Life Span

In the last two decades, an approach to the study of motivation has emerged that focuses on specific cognitive and affective mediators of behaviour, in contrast to more general traits or motives. This 'social-cognitive' approach grants goal-oriented motivation its own role in shaping cognition, emotion and behaviour, rather than reducing goal-directed behaviour to cold-blooded information processing or to an enactment of a personality type. This book adds to this process-oriented approach a developmental perspective. Critical elements of motivational systems can be specified and their inter-relations understood by charting the origins and the developmental course of motivational processes. Moreover, a process-oriented approach helps to identify critical transitions and effective developmental interventions. The chapters in this book cover various age groups throughout the life span and stem from four big traditions in motivational psychology: achievement motivation, action theory, the psychology of causal attribution and perceived control, and the psychology of personal causation and intrinsic motivation.

This innovative text sheds light on how people work -- why they sometimes function well and, at other times, behave in ways that are self-defeating or destructive. The author presents her groundbreaking research on adaptive and maladaptive cognitive-motivational patterns and shows:* How these patterns originate in people's self-theories* Their consequences for the person -- for achievement, social relationships, and emotional well-being* Their consequences for society, from issues of human potential to stereotyping and intergroup relations* The experiences that create themThis outstanding text is a must-read for researchers in social psychology, child development, and education, and is appropriate for both graduate and senior undergraduate students in these areas.
