Marcus conducted an experiment to investigate teachers' perceptions of how different types of praise affect a child's academic resilience.
He gave teachers from a local primary school two scenarios describing the same child. In the first scenario, teachers had to rate the child's academic resilience after receiving praise focused on their inherent intelligence (person praise) (Condition A). In the second scenario, the same teachers rated the same child's academic resilience after receiving praise focused on their effort (process praise) (Condition B).
The teachers were asked to provide a rating on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 represented extremely low resilience and 10 represented extremely high resilience.
