Why failure isn't always a bad thing
It’s often said we’re more risk-averse nowadays, more cautious, more careful not to fail. This is especially noticeable in both the workplace and in education, where the emphasis is on achieving good results, rather than on learning and becoming wiser. In fact, this attitude is so pervasive that many of us have become frightened of ever failing. Is this a healthy attitude? Research in both business and education suggests not.
In a study carried out at Bilkent University in Turkey and Ghent University in Belgium, Aikaterini Michou and colleagues questioned more than 1,000 high school and university students about their motivation to learn and the learning strategies they used. The students who were afraid to fail were more cautious, more likely to set goals that allowed them to feel better about themselves, rather than to pursue new interests or enhance personal development. They were also less likely to use the most effective learning strategies.
Joachim Brunstein and Peter Gollwitzer at the Universities of Erlangen and Konstanz in Germany conducted an experiment where they told a group of young adults they’d failed on the first of two tasks (irrespective of actual test scores). Those who’d been told the task was a test of their competence and promise in their chosen field – either medicine or computer science – were more likely to do better on the second task than were those who were told the initial task was irrelevant to their future career. It seems that when an individual fails in an area that’s important to them, that failure can become a motivator, rather than a deterrent.
