How one thinks about one's intelligence and personality can be advantageous or detrimental to their success. Studies have shown that those who hold a growth mindset, the belief that intelligence is malleable, are more likely to maintain effort in an academic environment, resulting in greater achievement. Additionally, growth mindset has shown to temper some effects of depression and anxiety. These effects of mindset on persistence as well as on depression and anxiety suggest a role for positive self-talk. The current study investigates possible correlates of growth mindset. We hypothesized that there is a relationship between growth mindset, one’s style of internal self-talk, and one’s resilience, or ability to adapt positively to adversities and setbacks. We assessed these relationships using three scales: the Implicit Theories Scale, the Self-Compassion Scale, and the Inventory of College Resilience Scale. Forty-four CSU Channel Islands students completed the self-report measures. A moderately strong positive relationship was found between the Self-Compassion Scale and the Inventory of College Students’ Resilience, r(41) = .651, p < .01. Suggesting an important relationship between compassionate self-talk and one’s ability to recover from hardship. All other correlations were non-significant. These results propose that growth mindset is independent from self-talk and resilience.
