Abstract
  • A three-day workshop was developed to teach a growth mindset to African-American males who deal with self-hatred. Follow-up discussion included Brainology, exercises using growth mindset theories, and effects of self-hatred. The Dweck mindset test and Sorensen self-esteem test were used. The results indicated a categorical reduction of self-hatred. The growth mindset provided a positive way of experiencing themselves. By viewing challenges and setbacks as opportunities one does not experience setbacks and challenges in a negative way. The results also indicated that self-hatred is increased by failure and is a negative way of experiencing oneself when one cannot fully engage and use one's abilities to the utmost in pursuit of something one values. The key to self-esteem is the willingness to accept challenges and setbacks and view them as opportunities.
