Answer to Question 1

Answer: A fixed mindset is the idea that our ability is stable and does not change over time. A growth mindset is the idea that our abilities can change with experience. A growth mindset is more likely to lead to success after a failure experience because individuals who have a growth mindset tend to view failures as learning experiences, after which their abilities can improve. On the other hand, individuals who have a fixed mindset would view a setback as indicative of their stable, low-level ability.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Self-awareness theory posits that when we focus on ourselves, we evaluate and compare our current behavior against our personal values and standards. When we can bring our behaviors into line with our internal values, we will. When, however, we do not or cannot bring our behaviors into line with our internal standards, we will experience discomfort, and stop being self-aware as quickly as possible (e.g., turning away from a mirror, watching television, or even escaping the self via drugs or suicide).
