Differentiate between mastery-oriented, helpless-oriented, and performance-oriented responses to difficult circumstances.

What will be an ideal response?


Mastery-oriented children focus on the task rather than on their ability, display positive affect (enjoy a challenge), and generate solution-oriented strategies that improve their performance. Helpless-oriented children focus on their personal inadequacies, often attribute their difficulty to a lack of ability, and display negative affect (boredom and anxiety). Performance-oriented children are concerned with outcome rather than process, winning is what matters, and happiness is thought to be a result of winning.
