A growth mindset is the belief that human capacities are not fixed but can be developed over time, and mindset research examines the power of such beliefs to influence human behavior. This article offers two personal perspectives on mindset research across two eras. Given recent changes in the field, the authors represent different generations of researchers, each focusing on different issues and challenges, but both committed to "era-bridging" research. The first author traces mindset research from its systematic examination of how mindsets affect challenge seeking and resilience, through the ways in which mindsets influence the formation of judgments and stereotypes. The second author then describes how mindset research entered the era of field experiments and replication science, and how researchers worked to create reliable interventions to address underachievement-including a national experiment in the United States. The authors conclude that there is much more to learn but that the studies to date illustrate how an era-bridging program of research can continue to be generative and relevant to new generations of scholars.

心态：两个时代的观点。


成长心态是相信人类的能力不是固定的，而是可以随着时间的推移而发展的，心态研究考察了这种信念影响人类行为的力量。本文提供了关于跨两个时代的心态研究的两种个人观点。鉴于该领域最近的变化，作者代表了不同代的研究人员，每个人都关注不同的问题和挑战，但都致力于“跨时代”的研究。第一作者通过思维方式影响判断和刻板印象形成的方式，系统地考察了思维方式如何影响挑战寻求和复原力，从而追溯了思维方式研究。第二位作者随后描述了心态研究如何进入现场实验和复制科学时代，以及研究人员如何努力制定可靠的干预措施来解决成绩不佳的问题，包括在美国进行的一项全国性实验。作者得出的结论是，还有很多东西需要学习，但迄今为止的研究表明，跨时代的研究计划如何能够继续具有创造力并与新一代学者相关。
