I've witnessed this quite a few times in my parents' interactions with my siblings. They're praised for receiving high marks on their exams, but contrary to the article, I found that it only led them to work even harder.

Through my own experience as a student who felt discouraged to learn because I feared it may challenge my intelligence; I wholeheartedly agree with this statement.

Why does this phenomenon occur if the student is aware that if they don't work, they won't do well? Does it have to do with ego?

Once overt praise towards an individual's intelligence becomes excessive, the results are often negative than they are positive to their productivity. Studies show students who measure worth by intelligence experience learning setbacks. Hence, it's important to incorporate a little bit of both constructive commentary and words of encouragement towards the individual in order to promote growth.

A fixed mindset is determined by a student's willingness or unwillingness to learn and improve, "Many students believe that intelligence is fixed, that each person has a certain amount and that's that." Thus, it stunts the ability for growth through skills acquired by training consistently and strategically.
