:Do you think mindset is considered more psychological or philosophical? JamarisSalinas (talk) 20:21, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

message: Hi all,
Line 1 defining mindset says 
"a mindset is a set of assumptions, methods, or notations held by one or more people or groups of people"
Should "notations" be "notions"?

message: Dear Nawl in wiki
thanks for your guiding comments.
I am new to this.
My objective is to inform about mindset - I am a research fellow on this topic - and performing fundamental research on my own.
Hence I thought I would write about this work (that is validated by universities) by myself. I followed the model of the Boston Consulting Group that links their name to their site.
Question 1
I can go around by setting a link from the text in Wiki to a university (where I am teaching the method). Would this be acceptable?
Question 2
May I mention my name in the text in wiki or would this be considered as a kind of advertising ? 
thanking in advance
kind regards
Rene

message: Dear all, 
new to this. 
However, I have found some relevant information that I believe will enhance the understanding of Fixed and Growth Mindset. In the beginning, I would like to add some examples of how students of both fixed and growth mindset would act. Then as you read on, there is little talk about gender. I think adding in some information on how gender affects the mindset of people and students is essential.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Srj62 (talk • contribs) 11:39, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

message: Wondering which resource you used for your one-word spelling choice. I see Merriam-Webster—usually the preferred resource for US spelling—using hyphenation. Dictionary.com also uses hyphenated spelling, yet uses single-word spelling in their examples. Anyone have any insight on the spelling? Thanks.

replies: text: If you're referring to the alternate spelling "mind-set", looking at trends.google.com, it appears to be a rare variant, both in the US and the UK. Perhaps it is old-fashioned? Hyphenation of compound words seems to change a lot over time. I expect the vast majority of the cited sources use "mindset". -- Beland (talk) 23:50, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

message: I want to add a section (or two) based on information from the "Mindset" chapter from the textbook in my Psychology of Motivation and Emotion class. A lot of information from there seems to be missing here. The Deliberative and Implemental mindsets are some of the more notable ones. SandWitch1000 (talk) 04:08, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

message: I've never been accused of an allergy to abstraction. Unfortunately, this quote is the kind of buzzword soup that leaves you wondering what, if anything, it is attempting to assert; it actually reads more like a summary of an abstract than a cogent observation. 
According to French and Chang (2016), scholarly concepts of mindset shift "to the varied definitions and conceptualizations" which "demarcates this literature via a novel categorization using the construct of mindset".
Does anyone else get more out of this than I do? 
If so, feel free to restore this fragment to the bottom of the lead. — MaxEnt 15:00, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
