2. 研究表明,人们不应夸奖小孩“很聪明”,而应称赞他们的努力。
According to Carol Dweck and her team at Columbia University telling kids they are smart makes them want to maintain the image of appearing smart. She says, “we tell them that this is the name of the game: Look smart, don’t risk making mistakes.” A better compliment would be “you must have worked very hard for this.”
根据Carol Dweck和她在哥伦比亚大学的团队研究,夸小孩聪明会使他们努力维持看上去很聪明的模样。她说:“我们在告诉他们,这个游戏的名字叫‘看上去聪明’,但不可以犯错误。”更明智的称赞应该是“你一定很努力地去做这件事了吧?”。
