The term "Follow your passion" has increased ninefold in English books since 1990. "Find something you love to do and you’ll never have to work a day in your life" is another college-counseling standby of unknown provenance. But according to Carol Dweck, a psychology professor at Stanford University, that advice is steering people wrong.
"What are the consequences of that?" asked Paul O’Keefe, an assistant professor of psychology at Yale-NUS College. "That means that if you do something that feels like work, it means you don’t love it." He gave me the example of a student who jumps from lab to lab, trying to find one whose research topic feels like her passion. "It’s this idea that if I’m not completely overwhelmed by emotion when I walk into a lab, then it won’t be my passion or my interest."
That’s why he and two co-authors — Dweck and Greg Walton of Stanford — recently performed a study that suggests it might be time to change the way we think about our interests. Passions aren’t "found," they argue. They’re developed.
In a paper that is forthcoming in Psychological Science, the authors describe the difference between the two mind-sets. One is a "fixed theory of interests" — the idea that core interests are there from birth, just waiting to be discovered — and the other is a "growth theory," the idea that interests are something anyone can cultivate over time.
To examine how these different mind-sets affect our pursuit of different topics, the authors performed a series of studies on college students — a group that’s frequently advised to find their passion in the form of a major or career path.
First, students answered a survey that would categorize them as either "techy" — slang for interested in math and science —or "fuzzy," meaning interested in the arts or humanities. They also filled out a survey determining how much they agreed with the idea that people’s core interests don’t change over time. They then read an article that mismatched their interests — a piece on the future of algorithms for the fuzzies, and a piece on Derrida for the techies. The more the participants favoring a "fixed" theory of interests, the less interested they were in the article that mismatched their aforementioned identity as a techy or fuzzy.
The authors believe this could mean that students who have fixed theories of interest might give up interesting lectures or opportunities because they don’t in line with their previously stated passions. Or that they might overlook ways that other disciplines can intersect with their own.
The mind-set of "fixed theory of interests" is different from "growth theory" in that it believes interests______.
选项
A、vary over time
B、can be developed
C、are flexible
D、are genetic
答案
D
解析
题干问: “兴趣固定论”与“成长理论”不同是因为“兴趣固定论”认为兴趣______。可定位到第四段第二句:One is a“fixed theory of interests”一the idea that core interests are there from hinh,just waiting to be discovered(一个是“固定兴趣论”,该理论认为核心兴趣是天生的,等待发现就行),所以选项[D]正确。
