Implicit Theories: Elaboration and Extension of the Model

Abstract

We found these commentaries to be deeply thoughtful and thought-provoking.Not only were we led down new paths, but we were also led to reexplore the old ones.In addition, it was gratifying to see that many of the most common questions were ones that we have addressed in our latest research.Thus we are able to present new data that speak to a number of issues, including stereotyping, cross-culturd differences, and the origins of implicit theories in early childhood.We begin with issues relating to the mode1 and its constructs, and then we go on to consider generalization of the model to new areas.
