Mindset and Emotions


In response to a query on LinkedIn, I said -
I think mindset and emotion are interlinked.  One can drive the other.  If a mindset is a set of ideas and beliefs, contradictions to them will generate emotions that are likely to be negative.  Whereas confirmation of another person's mindset as similar to our own will generate positive feelings, and reinforce the beliefs about that mindset.  Perhaps this can be part of a fixed mindset?

A growth mindset is likely to not get too affected by emotions, because it is willing to be open- minded, accepting of different views, and explore possibilities, especially to establish new ground which can be common to both parties.

Just my thoughts.
