Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dweck's theory distinguishes between two types of people: entity theorists, who believe that traits are fixed and unchangeable, and incremental theorists, who believe that traits can be cultivated and developed through effort and practice. So, the correct choices are entity and incremental. Option A refers to environmental and hereditary theorists, which is not related to Dweck's theory. Option C refers to internal and external theorists, which is also not related. Option D refers to incremental and global theorists, which is not correct according to Dweck's theory.
