Character — Character Lab

The intentions and actions that benefit both the individual and others

Character

Why character?Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.” Our goal is to make this vision a reality.Overwhelming scientific evidence now shows that character strengths like self-control, curiosity, and gratitude are critically important to social and emotional well-being, physical health, and achievement. Although character strengths are malleable, surprisingly little is known about how they can be intentionally cultivated. This is why Character Lab exists—to research and create new ways to help all children develop character. What kind of character strengths lead to thriving?Research has demonstrated that character is plural, encomp ing a multitude of strengths that can be organized into three dimensions: Interpersonal strengths, like gratitude, enable harmonious relationships with other people; int rsonal strengths, like grit and self-control, enable achievement; and intellectual strengths, like curiosity, enable a fertile and free life of the mind.How can we cultivate character?Character Lab believes that helping children develop character is an age-old challenge that will yield to a new solution: world-cl scientists working hand-in-hand with expert educators and visionary designers.The result are Playbooks, which help parents and teachers develop character in children and, as role models, in themselves. As James Baldwin once observed, “Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.”, excerpt : , location : { mapZoom : 12.0, mapLat : 40.7207559, mapLng : -74.00076130000002, markerLat : 40.7207559, markerLng : -74.00076130000002 }, customContent : { maxwidth : , padding-bottom : , padding-bottom-mobile : , customType : text-item, border : false, hidePostDate : false, video-color : , h1h2 : , padding-top-mobile : , padding-top : }, likeCount : 0, commentCount : 0, publicCommentCount : 0, commentState : 2, unsaved : false, author : { id : 53116d2ae4b0d43f6e0cf521, isDeactivated : false, deleted : false, displayName : Faction Studio Team, firstName : Faction, lastName : Studio, avatarId : 599c50306a49639d4d721ce2, websiteUrl : http://www.factionstudio.com, bio : We create brilliant websites for brilliant brands, location : { addressTitle : Faction Studio Inc, addressLine1 : 220 Water St, addressLine2 : Brooklyn, NY 11201, country : USA }, systemGenerated : false, avatar etUrl : https://static1.squarespace.com/static/images/599c50306a49639d4d721ce2/100w }, fullUrl : /lending-sections-1-1/2017/8/15/text, etUrl : https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5980a22e9de4bb9ca8bce449/5992d8108419c23697f57eea/5992d8c8cd39c3babe1874e3/1538397072369/, contentType : text/html, items : [ ], pushedServices : { }, pendingPushedServices : { }, recordTypeLabel : text } ], pageSize : 250, eventView : 1, folder : false, dropdown : false, homepage : false, typeName : sections, regionName : default, synchronizing : false, seoData : { seoTitle : Marquee + paragraphs, seoDescription : , seoHidden : false }, typeLabel : sections, fullUrl : /lending-sections-1-1/, p wordProtected : false, pagePermissionType : 1}) Character

About Character Lab

How does Character Lab support parents and teachers?We turn scientific discoveries about the mindsets and skills that develop character into actionable advice for parents and teachers. On this website, you’ll find Playbooks, organized by character strength, with information and activities based on rigorous research studies. In each Playbook, you’ll also find links to books, videos, and other recommended resources. Each week, our co-founder and CEO Angela Duckworth writes a Thought of the Week, a short personal piece related to current events or new psychological research. You can sign up to receive them by email, or read them here. Because we are a nonprofit organization generously supported by philanthropic foundations and individuals, everything we do is free of charge.Who founded Character Lab?Character Lab is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2013 by one scientist and two educators: Angela Duckworth, author of Grit: The Power of P ion and Perseverance and the Christopher H.

When great ideas idle, kids miss out.Our solution is the Character Lab Research Network, a growing consortium of trailblazing schools and top scientists from leading universities. Together, we develop and test activities to better understand how to support the development of character and well-being in young people., excerpt : , location : { mapZoom : 12.0, mapLat : 40.7207559, mapLng : -74.00076130000002, markerLat : 40.7207559, markerLng : -74.00076130000002 }, customContent : { maxwidth : , padding-bottom : , padding-bottom-mobile : , customType : text-item, border : false, hidePostDate : false, video-color : , h1h2 : , padding-top-mobile : , padding-top : }, likeCount : 0, commentCount : 0, publicCommentCount : 0, commentState : 2, unsaved : false, author : { id : 53116d2ae4b0d43f6e0cf521, isDeactivated : false, deleted : false, displayName : Faction Studio Team, firstName : Faction, lastName : Studio, avatarId : 599c50306a49639d4d721ce2, websiteUrl : http://www.factionstudio.com, bio : We create brilliant websites for brilliant brands, location : { addressTitle : Faction Studio Inc, addressLine1 : 220 Water St, addressLine2 : Brooklyn, NY 11201, country : USA }, systemGenerated : false, avatar etUrl : https://static1.squarespace.com/static/images/599c50306a49639d4d721ce2/100w }, fullUrl : /landing-sections-1-1/2017/8/20/tb3ldz79k9bzi4mqujsiv46modiz85, etUrl : https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5980a22e9de4bb9ca8bce449/5996fed4db29d612b119c861/599942ed37c581a0f210675c/1538146636821/, contentType : text/html, items : [ ], pushedServices : { }, pendingPushedServices : { }, recordTypeLabel : text } ], pageSize : 250, features : { relatedItems : { isEnabled : false }, productQuickView : { isEnabled : false } }, eventView : 1, folder : false, dropdown : false, homepage : false, typeName : sections, regionName : default, synchronizing : false, seoData : { seoTitle : Marquee and paragraphs, seoDescription : , seoHidden : false }, typeLabel : sections, fullUrl : /landing-sections-1-1/, p wordProtected : false, pagePermissionType : 1}) About Character Lab
