Presentation Abstract :
The present research investigated whether beliefs about ability can be
manipulated, and if so, whether those beliefs can subsequently moderate the
effects of self-doubt on well-being and task performance. Consistent with
our hypothesis, for participants who were exposed to entity beliefs, higher
self-doubt was associated with lower task performance. However, those who
were exposed to incremental beliefs experienced diminished negative effects
of self-doubt on task performance. These findings suggest that self-doubt
may have negative effects only when it is interpreted as signaling that
ability is immutably low.
