L3 - Uniformed protective Services - Dweck's Mindset Theory

Dweck’s spectrum of mindset theories:
o fixed mindset
– personality traits are fixed and cannot be changed through training
– success is based on fixed ability and improvement comes through accessing that ability
o growth mindset
– personality traits attributed to learning, effort, training and practice
– effort and training can change a person’s personality traits for improvement
o how beliefs about ability and talent impact on behaviour (fixed versus growth)
– challenges (avoiding versus embracing)
– obstacles (giving up versus persisting)
– effort (pointless versus essential for mastery of skills)
– criticism (ignore versus learn from it).
