Two professors at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) conducted a study that looked at the characteristics that enable people to succeed in their ambitions. According to his research, people who have greater willpower often have one important characteristic in common: a “growth mindset.”
A large-scale study found that this mindset—defined as a belief in personal progress and improvement—is associated with higher levels of enthusiasm, determination, and success.
The research involved more than 1,500 participants aged 13 to 77, with an average age of 26. They completed questionnaires measuring qualities such as grit, passion and mindset. The data showed that individuals with a positive attitude not only had more willpower, but were also more motivated to achieve their goals. A new article has been published about the test New ideas in psychology.
The findings highlight the importance of fostering belief in growth to unleash one’s potential. Adopting a growth mindset can be the key to developing resilience and passion in various areas of life.
Harmundur Sigmundsson, professor in the Department of Psychology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), said, “A person’s belief in growth is important. Individuals can change and enhance their development through training. People with a growth mindset respond to challenges. “See it as a learning opportunity.” ,
“When we compare the five percent of people who have the most positive attitudes and the five percent of people who have the most negative attitudes, we find a huge difference in passion and determination,” Sigmundson said.
Sigmundsson said, “Our results can help us better understand the relationships between different factors. These in turn relate to how satisfied people are with their lives, how they feel, whether they have already What has been achieved and what we are learning.”
When we know more about the characteristics of people with different viewpoints, we can also better understand how we can motivate different groups. Thus we can motivate people to set long-term goals and strive to achieve these goals. This is what Sigmundson calls “I can feel.”
He said, “Belief in evolution is important for large parts of our society. This is true for school, sports, work and family life.”
