3 Theories of social cognition

Children with peer difficulties...(Dodge)
often hold biased social expectations. Then they attend selectively to social cues & misinterpret behavior

Helpless pattern vs. Mastery-oriented pattern
Helpless:ability is a fixed trait(entity), focus on outcome rather than process, assume failure due to lack of IQ, success due to luck, give up
