Question 10. What does the word "implicit" propose according to the text below?
Implicit Theories of Intelligence Predict Achievement Across an Adolescent Transition: A
Longitudinal Study and an Intervention
Two studies explored the role of implicit theories of intelligence in adolescents' mathematics
achievement
In Study 1 with 373 7th graders, the belief that intelligence is malleable (incremental theory)
predicted an upward trajectory in grades over the two years of junior high school, while a
belief that intelligence is fixed (entity theory) predicted a flat trajectory. A mediational model
including learning goals, positive beliefs about effort, and causal attributions and strategies
was tested
In Study 2, an intervention teaching an incremental theory to 7th graders promoted positive
change in classroom motivation, compared with a control group. Simultaneously, students in
the control group displayed a continuing downward trajectory in grades, while this decline
was reversed for students in the experimental group
not directly expressed

O readily observable
