Fixed mindset vs. Growth Mindset: How your attitude changes your life<\/h2>\n
The basics of mindset <\/strong>Have you ever had the feeling that you’re just not cut out for certain things? Maybe you’ve said to yourself: “I’m just not good at math” or “Creativity doesn’t suit me”. <\/p>\n
These thoughts could be signs of a so-called “fixed mindset” – an entrenched pattern of thinking. In contrast, there is the “Growth Mindset”, which is based on the belief that skills and talents can be developed through effort and learning. These concepts were researched and coined by psychologist Carol Dweck from Stanford University. Let’s find out together how these perspectives emerge and how you can develop a Growth Mindset to realize your full potential. <\/p>\n
How do our beliefs come about?<\/strong><\/p>\n
Our beliefs about ourselves and the world are often formed in childhood. Parents, teachers and friends play a central role in this. For example, if you were praised for good grades (“You’re so clever!”), you might develop the idea that intelligence is innate and unchangeable. If, on the other hand, you were praised for your effort (“You tried really hard, well done!”), you may have internalized the belief that success depends on commitment and perseverance. These messages shape your basic attitude – your mindset – and influence how you perceive challenges. <\/p>\n
The concept of fixed vs. Growth Mindset<\/strong> Carol Dweck describes two basic thought patterns in her research:<\/p>\n
\n
\n
Fixed mindset<\/strong>: People with a fixed mindset believe that their talents and abilities are static. They avoid challenges in order to avoid mistakes and feel threatened by the success of others. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n
Growth Mindset<\/strong>: People with a Growth Mindset are convinced that they can develop through effort and learning. They see challenges as an opportunity to grow and are open to criticism and feedback. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This knowledge opens the door to change. Because: Your mindset is malleable! <\/p>\n
