Growth Mindset and Self-blame

Having a growth mindset, the belief that you can get better with effort alone, is supposed to push you to keep trying when things get hard, and often it does. But new research suggests that when you try and still fail, you are more likely to blame yourself, and that can harm your mental wellbeing. In this episode of Two Guys on Your Head, Dr. Art Markman, Dr. Bob Duke, and Rebecca McInroy talk about ways to help navigate effort, success, and failure more positively. The post Growth Mindset and Self-blame appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
