(thanks Venkat): "When parents praise their children’s intelligence, they believe they are providing the solution to this problem. According to a survey conducted by Columbia University, 85 percent of American parents think it’s important to tell their kids that they’re smart. […] But a growing body of research–and a new study from the trenches of the New York public-school system–strongly suggests it might be the other way around. Giving kids the label of ’smart‘ does not prevent them from underperforming. It might actually be causing it." http://nymag.com/news/features/27840/
