The Praise Paradox
- Defining Praise requires two different components: What is being praised and the amount of praise.
- Talent and abilities can be praised, and the degree of praise is based on the language used.
- Inflated or exaggerated praise can backfire, lowering a young person’s motivation or self-worth when there are eventual setbacks.
- It fosters a fixed mindset by adding pressure on the person(who is praised) to behave accordingly.
