Totally agree. The whole Growth Mindset Theory was an attempt to create a situational agnostic explanation for behaviour. Modern approaches to cognition have moved beyond this gross simplification and are much more ecologically informed.
It is unhelpful and un healthy to label people’s mindsets as an explicit decision for something what originally describing implicit cognising.
Thanks this is a helpful summary, I notice an overweighting of mindest in relation to other factors creates a person-centred view that can leave people feeling like failures when inevitably the environmental factors outweigh the individual. That said, a curious mindset is helpful in reviewing these situations especially through coaching conversations.
