Abstract
The present study investigated our hypothesis of an underlying relationship
between optimism/pessimism and implicit theories of intelligence. We
investigated the psychometric properties of optimism and mindset scales in
our sample, compared confirmatory factor analysis models of the scales,
examined the full measurement model to confirm quality measurement of the
final structural phase of investigation, and finally conducted two competing
structural equation models. We found that the direct pathway from optimism
to growth mindset was significant, and the pathway from pessimism to fixed
mindset was also significant. However, there were no significant direct effects
of optimism on fixed mindset or pessimism on growth mindset. Measurement,
research, and practice implications are discussed.
