Lecture 06: Mindsets, control, and the self
This is the sixth lecture for the motivation and emotion unit of study.
Overview
This lecture discusses:
- mindsets
- personal control beliefs
- the self and its strivings
Take-home messages:
- Different mindsets lead to different goal striving strategies
- The core efficacy belief of "I can do it" and the outcome belief of "it will work" lead to competent, enthusiastic functioning
