Abstract
An expansive growth mindset concerns people’s belief about whether they can develop new skills across different fields (i.e., lateral growth). It predicted beneficial career-related outcomes, such as the preference for uncertain tasks, the tendency to keep up with market trends, and more positivity and less negativity toward brand new jobs.
