Mary C. Murphy: 在一次心理学研讨会上，我亲眼目睹了两种截然不同的环境如何影响学生的心态。在“天才文化”中，教授们争相指出学生的错误，导致学生感到沮丧和无助，甚至不愿继续研究项目。这种环境让我意识到，过分强调个人能力和竞争可能会扼杀学生的学习热情和创造力。相反，在另一个研讨会上，教授们积极地为学生提供改进建议，激发了学生的积极性和参与感。这种“成长文化”让我深刻体会到，鼓励合作、重视学习和发展才是培养人才的关键。我开始思考，心态不仅是个人品质，更是一种文化，会影响人们的互动、言行以及在环境中的表现。我与Carol Dweck合作，共同探索了心态文化的概念，并研究了如何创造支持协作、创新和个人福祉的环境。

Deep Dive

Chapters
This chapter explores the contrast between two types of academic environments: one that fosters competition and criticism, and another that promotes collaboration and improvement. The author, Mary C. Murphy, observed how these different social environments impacted students' motivation and engagement with their work.
  • In a "culture of genius," professors compete to find flaws in students' work, leading to demotivation and avoidance of the project.
  • In contrast, a "culture of growth" encourages collaboration and creative problem-solving, leading to increased motivation and concrete strategies for improvement.

Shownotes Transcript

In this episode we welcome psychologist Mary C. Murphy, author of Cultures of Growth, who tells us how to create institutions, businesses, and other groups of humans that can better support collaboration, innovation, performance, and wellbeing. We also learn how, even if you know all about the growth mindset, the latest research suggests you not may not be creating a culture of growth despite what feels like your best efforts to do so.
