Abstract

Mindset, growth or fixed, refers to two different beliefs people hold about the underlying nature of ability, and was first put forward by the psychologist Carol Dweck. The central role of mindset in motivation, self-regulation and interpersonal processes has been the subject of growing research interest, but there are few discussions of mindset in the context of China. Using the China Family Panel Studies, this study aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of social-demographic correlates of mindset in China. Following the psychological literature, we construct a binary status of mindset via exploratory factor analysis. We find that place of origin (rural or urban), educational level, employment status and life-course events are correlated to mindset. It is also determined that mindset acts as a fundamental psychological factor strongly associated with multiple outcomes, including educational attainment, cognitive skills, attitudes and subject well-being.

中国心态的社会人口学相关性

心态，成长或固定，是指人们对能力的潜在本质持有的两种不同的信念，最早由心理学家Carol Dweck提出。心态在动机、自我调节和人际交往过程中的核心作用一直是人们越来越感兴趣的研究主题，但很少有人在中国背景下讨论心态。本研究采用中国家庭小组研究，旨在全面了解中国心态的社会人口学相关性。在心理学文献的基础上，我们通过探索性因素分析构建了一种心态的二元状态。我们发现，出生地（农村或城市）、教育水平、就业状况和人生历程事件与心态相关。还确定，心态是一个与多种结果密切相关的基本心理因素，包括教育程度、认知技能、态度和主体幸福感。
