Assignment #5: Mindset Survey Reflection

It is not so hard to observe others’ actions and pinpoint what mindset traits they might have, but it is difficult to think of my own mindset traits, especially fixed mindset versus growth mindset.

I had to really think about my actions and how others interpret them. Sometimes what I think I am is not who I am and vice versa, so thinking about how other people see me and what I have done in the past helped generating my list of fixed mindset traits.

For example, if there is someone seeking a job transition, they’re probably in a career right now doing the same thing they’ve been doing for quite a long time.

I consider my mindset kind of unique, because my ego isn’t very big like a lot of other people’s. It’s not that I don’t have confidence; I’m just not overconfident, which I think is a good thing.

    Psychology is defined as “the scientific study of the mind and behavior” (Introduction to Psychology, 2015). Psychology provides an overview of biology and behavior, sensation and perception, learning, memory, intelligence, language, motivation, emotion, abnormal psychology, and therapy (PSY 102 Course Syllabus, 2018, pg 1). Because psychology allows for a better understanding of how the mind and body work, this knowledge can be beneficial for any field of study or career. The theoretical and practical understanding of the basics of psychology can help with decision-making, critical thinking, stress management, time management, better understanding of others, improving communication, and even achieving goals and objectives, all components that allow someone to be more successful throughout their life. Throughout this course I hope to gain a greater understanding of historical and theoretical perspectives of human behavior and development (PSY 102 Course Syllabus, 2018, pg 2).
