Situating Growth Mindset across Contexts and Cultures: Experiential, Environmental, and Developmental Influences

Sat, April 11, 1:45 to 3:15pm PDT (1:45 to 3:15pm PDT), Westin Bonaventure, Floor: Lobby Level, Beaudry A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Advancing growth mindset research calls for a deeper understanding of how contexts and conditions shape mindsets and their broader impacts. This symposium addresses three underexplored gaps: how mindsets and meaning systems are shaped and developed, when they matter most across development, and how they predict outcomes beyond achievement scores. Five studies conducted in diverse K-12 contexts—across Korea, Indonesia, the U.S., China, and a global PISA sample—reveal that experiential factors offer a sustainable pathway to changing mindsets and meaning systems, that developmental timing significantly moderates effects, and that mindset principles meaningfully extend into creative domains. Together, these studies highlight the importance of experiential and environmental conditions in supporting growth mindsets, advancing theoretical understanding, and informing future research and practice.
