Popis: The mindset comprises the individual’s beliefs about his or her most fundamental characteristics and abilities. Our research was focused on the mindset regarding mental abilities and considered it as a factor of academic achievement, academic self-concept, academic self-regulation and giftedness. The study included 232 primary school pupils from 8th and 9th grade. The results showed that pupils with a higher degree of mindset to growth have better academic achievements and higher academic self-concept compared to pupils who are mainly fixed mindset oriented. The research has shown that the growth mindset and academic self-regulation are positively related. We also found that mindset does not have an incremental predictive value for academic achievement alongside academic self-concept and academic self-regulation. It turned out that gifted pupils mindset is more mentally oriented towards growth compared to their normative peers, and that mindset does not have a moderator effect in predicting academic achievement in relation to identified pupils' giftedness.
