Fixed Mindset is the belief that abilities are largely innate and unchangeable; tends to discourage effort and avoidance of challenge. Which option states this?

The belief that abilities can be developed through effort The belief that abilities are largely innate and unchangeable; tends to discourage effort and avoidance of challenge The belief that practice yields constant improvement The belief that luck determines outcomes

Correct Answer:

The belief that abilities are largely innate and unchangeable; tends to discourage effort and avoidance of challenge

Explanation:

Fixed mindset centers on the belief that abilities are largely innate and unchangeable, which tends to dampen effort and avoid challenging tasks. The statement matches this exactly by asserting that abilities are innate and unchangeable and that this belief discourages effort and avoidance of challenge. In contrast, beliefs that abilities can be developed through effort or that practice leads to improvement describe a growth mindset, where challenges are embraced as opportunities to learn. The idea that luck determines outcomes doesn’t address beliefs about whether effort can change abilities, so it doesn’t fit the fixed vs. growth framing.
