传统上，研究者将内隐理论概念化为个体差异，即因人而异的理论。然而，本文调查的后果，组织层面的智力内隐理论。在五项研究中，作者研究了一个组织的固定（实体）或可塑性（增量）智力理论如何影响人们对价值的推断，他们的自我和社会判断以及他们的行为决策。在研究1和2中，作者发现，当人们被激励加入一个实体或增量组织时，他们会系统地改变自我展示。人们向实体环境展示他们的“智慧”，向增量环境展示他们的“动机”。在研究3a和4中，他们展示了这些推论对参与者的自我概念和雇佣决策的下游后果。在研究3b中，他们证明了这种效应不是由于简单的启动。理解环境如何塑造认知和行为的影响，更一般地说，内隐理论研究进行了讨论。
Traditionally, researchers have conceptualized implicit theories as individual differences-lay theories that vary between people. This article, however, investigates the consequences of organization-level implicit theories of intelligence. In five studies, the authors examine how an organization's fixed (entity) or malleable (incremental) theory of intelligence affects people's inferences about what is valued, their self-and social judgments, and their behavioral decisions. In Studies 1 and 2, the authors find that people systematically shift their self-presentations when motivated to join an entity or incremental organization. People present their "smarts" to the entity environment and their "motivation" to the incremental environment. In Studies 3a and 4, they show downstream consequences of these inferences for participants' self-concepts and their hiring decisions. In Study 3b, they demonstrate that the effects are not due to simple priming. The implications for understanding how environments shape cognition and behavior and, more generally, for implicit theories research are discussed.
