| Abstract |
| Previous studies on the growth mindset have focused on the effect of the level of the growth mindset on the value judgment of one's own achievements. Expanding on this, present study was conducted with the purpose of confirming whether the value judgment on the achievement of athletes participating in the Olympics differs depending on the level of growth mindset, and exploring the psychological mechanisms that affect this judgment. Recruited participants responded to their growth mindset, the number of silver and bronze medals corresponding to one gold medal, and their perception of the purpose of their efforts. As a result, the lower the level of growth mindset, the stronger the perception that the purpose of effort is to win the competition, and the number of silver and bronze medals corresponding to one gold medal increased. Conversely, the higher the level of growth mindset, the stronger the perception that the purpose of effort is to improve ability, and the number of silver and bronze medals corresponding to one gold medal decreased. This means that the lower the growth mindset, the larger the difference in value between the gold medal and other medals, and the higher, the smaller the difference in value between the gold medal and other medals. This effect was mediated by the perception of the purpose of effort. This study has implications in that it shows that a growth mindset can affect not only one's own achievement evaluation but also the achievement evaluation of the community. |
