Mindsets and Motivation Across Contexts: Developmental and Disciplinary Perspectives on Self-Beliefs and Learning

Wed, April 8, 11:45am to 1:15pm PDT (11:45am to 1:15pm PDT), Westin Bonaventure, Floor: Level 2, Mt. Washington

Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

This session explores how mindsets and motivational beliefs shape learning and well-being across diverse educational contexts and developmental stages. Papers span early adolescence to doctoral education and examine how beliefs about ability, failure, and self-concept interact with emotional, cognitive, and social factors. Topics include the role of failure mindsets in doctoral students’ research development and well-being, the link between fixed mindsets and impostor feelings in adolescents, and the interplay between growth mindset and self-concept in international reading achievement. Additional studies investigate motivation-mindset profiles in English language learners and the co-development of achievement goals and social interdependence attitudes in Korean youth. Together, these papers offer new insights into the dynamic and contextual nature of self-beliefs and their implications for learning and development.
