Sample question
Motivation · medium
A child who was praised for 'being clever' avoids hard puzzles, while another praised for 'trying different ways' seeks them. What does this suggest about feedback?
- A. Praise should be avoided altogether
- B. Praise for effort and strategy supports a growth orientation
- C. Praise for ability always raises motivation
- D. Feedback has no effect on task choice
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B
Research on mindset shows that feedback focusing on effort and strategies encourages children to take on challenges, whereas ability labels make them fear failure. The option of avoiding praise is extreme; praise for fixed ability can reduce risk taking, and feedback does influence task choice.
