Implicit Theories of Intelligence Predict Achievement Across an Adolescent Transition: A Longitudinal Study and an Intervention This peer reviewed journal examines the aspects on the theories of intelligence in adolescents’ mathematics achievement. With this in mind, the 2 studies debate on incremental theory versus entity theory and an intervention teaching regarding positive change. Therefore, psychologist will try to prove with this longitudinal study that with time intelligence can be change during adolescence. The study is tested on junior high school students resulting on a downward or upward change on grades. Regarding study number 1, it is essential because psychologist are exploring the significant theories of intelligence being

Accordingly, study 1 represents how students react to certain teaching methods in regards to show if intelligence will increase or stay the same. But in study 2, it only proves motivational patterns “as malleable [it] should cause them to display more positive motivation in the classroom, and in turn to achieve more highly.” The researchers try to show in both studies that these variables may help junior high school students or kids that are entering adolescence, to insure their future it will be best to obtain the greatest education possible for a good …show more content…
That during challenging transitions performing on the 2 types of studies does have an effect on students, but always have an account that not everyone learns the same way. The implications of this study are like any other psychologist will faced regarding variables that they cannot control. Uniquely, they can’t control the student’s background culture or environment that they live in that might or might not led them learn more. Another implication for the study is that when the study was conducted the subject where already half way through learning and maybe the results were not affected or were affected by the experiment. Another implication for the study is that they only limited themselves to a small (one are or school district) that its results might not apply to all. My reactions to the study are sort of on the personal point of view because I do think that if you pursue the theory incremental intelligence with time during the critical time during adolescences is very critical. I think that my motivation is not affected by these theories of intelligence due to the fact that everyone is different. Also that peoples capacities not always is better shown on test scores, and you have to take on account the capacity of the person itself to learn, some people take longer than others just to learn a certain
