| A weakness from the Gunderson's study | It was a double blind, means that the parents and children didn't know the true aim so it was low on ethics. |
| A strength from Gunderson's study | It was a big and culturally biased sample, means that the results could be represented. |
| A strength from Gunderson's study | It was in a naturalistic environment, means it can be applied in a real life situation |
| A strength from Gunderson's study | Seeing as it was a double blind experiment it meant that people couldn't change their personality, which means that it increases the internal validity but it did mean there was a lack of control because it was in a naturalistic environment. |
| An improvement for ethics | Debrief the participants to reveal the true aim and give them the right to withdraw when they found the true aim |
| An improvement for the environment | Make the environment more controlled but that can make the ecological validity go down. |
| What is a fixed mindset | When the person thinks that they are given abilities at birth and that it can't be changed and they are unchangeable. |
| What is a growth mindset | They believe that effort can be payed off and it makes the results worth while and you aren't born with abilities. |
| Weakness of Dwecks theory | It was too simplistic because they only saw 2 different mindsets and nothing else. Some people may have both or neither one or the other. |
| Another strength of Dweck's theory | It has supporting evidence form Yeager and Dwecks study in 2012 which says being taught or believe in can lead to a better school performance |
| A weakness of Dweck's theory | Challenging research from Bouchard and McGue (1981) suggests that there is correlation between genetic relationship and IQ. Challenges it because Dweck says that it comes from the mindset. |
