MIND
“A threat mindset reduces cognitive flexibility, while a challenge mindset expands it.”
— Chen & Qu, 2022
Threat Mindset: A way of thinking where a person views a situation as a source of potential risk, harm, or loss, focusing on avoiding negative outcomes rather than achieving positive ones.
Challenge Mindset: The belief that stressful or difficult situations are opportunities for growth and learning, rather than insurmountable threats.
