I am working with youth in a coaching facility, so I appreciate you highlighting the challenges to the WOOP method.

You list out the following question: Given that mental contrasting is so harmful to people with low expectations, how can low expectations be readily and accurately identified?

Has there been any additional work done on this front? I am in a place where I am currently trying to figure out if there is a place to use mental contrasting and I would find additional info on how to identify those with low expectations of success very helpful

I work ad a Continuous Improvement Specialist. I work to develop problem solving capabilities withing my organization and am using a model developed by Mike Rother which he calls the Improvement Kata and Coaching Kata. According to his research, this is the structured thought habit that has made Toyota Motor Company so successful over the years. The Improvement Kata is very parallel to MCIIP Visualization with an emphasis on the scientific process and generating continuous learning within an organization. It is very enlightening to better understand the psychology behind such a thought model and I am considering the implications of a pessimistic approach to this actually causing more harm than good and what can be done about it.
