Humanities Homework Help

I’m working on a social science multi-part question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

1. Give an example of generic praise and an example of non-generic praise (1 point). For each type of praise, explain what this type of praise implies about children’s abilities.

2. What do the authors mean by “inconsistent praise”? Why do they think it is important to study inconsistent praise?

3. In this study, how did generic praise affect children’s self-evaluations? What happened to children’s self-evaluations when they were given some nongeneric praise? Did children’s evaluations change after just a little nongeneric praise or did they need a lot?

4. In this study, how did generic praise affect children’s persistence? What happened to children’s persistence when they were given some nongeneric praise? Did children’s persistence change after just a little nongeneric praise or did they need a lot? 

5. Based on the results of this study, what advice would you give parents on how to foster mastery orientation in their children?
