Carol Susan Dweck (born October 17, 1946) is an American psychologist and the Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology at Stanford University, where she has taught since 2004 after previous positions at the University of Illinois, Harvard, and Columbia. Her research bridges developmental, social, and personality psychology, focusing on self-conceptions, particularly implicit theories of intelligence, that shape individuals’ goals, motivation, and responses to challenges. Dweck earned a B.A. in psychology from Barnard College in 1967 and a Ph.D. from Yale University in 1972.
