Title and Data

The Growth Mindset Scale, the Attention to Positive and Negative Information Scale, and the Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire were employed. The complete scale is also provided in the dataset. The sample consists of college students. We propose three hypotheses regarding the relationship between a growth mindset and cognitive fusion: (1) a growth mindset is negatively correlated with cognitive fusion; (2) bias towards negative information mediates the relationship between growth mindset and cognitive fusion; and (3) bias towards positive information mediates the relationship between a growth mindset and cognitive fusion.
