Abstract

Although it is well known that implicit theories (beliefs regarding the malleability of human attributes) affect one’s motivation, less is known about how these effects manifest themselves in certain educational environments. This study investigated how implicit theories moderate the effects of selection systems, which are prevalent in educational settings, on individual effort. The results indicated that when entity theorists (people who think ability is fixed) who performed relatively well received negative feedback and were not selected, they exerted less effort compared with incremental theorists (people who think ability is malleable). The negative effects of selection systems on motivation might be amplified among entity theorists when they are faced with an undefeatable rival.
选择制度和内隐理论对个体努力的影响
虽然众所周知,内隐理论(关于人类属性可塑性的信念)会影响一个人的动机,但人们对这些影响如何在某些教育环境中表现出来却知之甚少。本研究探讨了内隐理论如何调节在教育环境中普遍存在的选择制度对个人努力的影响。结果表明,当表现相对较好的实体理论家(认为能力是固定的人)收到负面反馈而没有被选中时,他们比增量理论家(认为能力是可塑的人)付出的努力更少。当实体理论家面对不可战胜的对手时,选择系统对动机的负面影响可能会被放大。
