@Marian I have read that in studies of “growth mindset,” Asian cultures tend to encourage such beliefs/attitudes more than European cultures. That is, the attitude that you can improve in academic areas through hard work rather than the “fixed mindset” in which people believe you are either born with smarts or not.
The “fixed mindset” can tend to cause people to “hit the wall” when they are first challenged to do hard work. People with a “growth mindset” can tend to seek out help or work harder. Thus, the lack of stigma for seeking help.
I grew up with the “fixed mindset” culture but have tried to convey the “growth mindset” to my kids (even if I don’t always believe it inside).
