springboard
成長する思考とそうでない思考が20年の研究の末判明したという記事です。記事には日本語訳もあり，是非読んでいただきたい内容でした。記事の中で気になった単語は"springboard"です。『Wisdom第三版（三省堂）』によると「飛び込み版，（成功への）足掛かり，出発点」などという意味がありました。
研究内容は，「固定された思考態度」と「成長する思考態度」どちらかをもつ2グループに分け分析を行っております。調査の結果，固定された思考態度を持つグループは根本に自分をよく見せたいという欲求があり，後者のグループには学びたいという欲求から始まるとありました。（Ume）
One of the most basic beliefs we carry about ourselves, Dweck found in her research, has to do with how we view and inhabit what we consider to be our personality. A “fixed mindset” assumes that our character, intelligence, and creative ability are static givens which we can’t change in any meaningful way, and success is the affirmation of that inherent intelligence, an assessment of how those givens measure up against an equally fixed standard; striving for success and avoiding failure at all costs become a way of maintaining the sense of being smart or skilled. A “growth mindset,” on the other hand, thrives on challenge and sees failure not as evidence of unintelligence but as a heartening springboard for growth and for stretching our existing abilities. Out of these two mindsets, which we manifest from a very early age, springs a great deal of our behavior, our relationship with success and failure in both professional and personal contexts, and ultimately our capacity for happiness.
