About

Mindset theory is a psychological framework that investigates the fundamental beliefs individuals hold about the nature of their personal attributes, particularly intelligence and abilities. This research area distinguishes between a fixed mindset (the belief that abilities are innate and static) and a growth mindset (the belief that abilities can be developed through effort, learning, and perseverance), demonstrating the significant impact these differing beliefs have on motivation, resilience, learning strategies, and ultimately, achievement across various domains.
