Creator

Drigka, Anna Maria

Abstract

Existing literature on growth mindset presents mixed findings on the statistical significance of growth mindset in relation to academic resilience and performance in university student samples. This research focused on mindset as a two-factor concept consisting of growth and fixed mindset. Growth mindset was expected to present significant and positive correlations with both academic variables, while fixed mindset was expected to correlate negatively. An online survey administered to 150 Deree students showed significant positive associations of growth mindset with academic resilience (rs=.48, p<.001) and academic performance (rs=.23, p<.01), compared to negative correlations observed with fixed mindset (rs=-.29, p<.001; rs=-.22, p<.05), as predicted.
