Question

Lynnea believes that the C she earned on her first math exam was caused by her failure to study and that, if she works hard, she can get an A on the next exam. "My success is within my control," she tells herself. Lynnea believes in the _____ theory of intelligence.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer to fill in the blank in the question: Lynnea believes in the ____ theoery of intelligence, the answer would be: the incremental theory of intelligence.

Explanation:

Both the Incremental, and the Entity theories of perceived intelligence were born from the research carried out by Carol Dweck and her collagues in 1985. In this research, experts found that intelligence can come from what a person perceives are her, or his, abilities, and thus, his/her capacities to confront a situation. In the case of Lynnea, given that she does not necessarily perceive herself as an overachievier, or a genius, but rather, understands that all she needs is hard work, and more studying, then she is applying the theory of incremental intelligence, which means, she builds and achieves her goals with hard work and step-by-step.
