In the case of careers, people may become more adaptable if they focus on their short-term rather than long- term decisions, if they aim for the good options rather than the maximum ones, if they focus on the idea of a career that includes the mastery of different roles rather than fixed roles that lead to a final destination, and most important if they apply a self-theory of malleability (my personal qualities can be changed) rather than fixedness (Dweck & Molden, 2005).
Historically, the implicit self-theory construct, the foundation of the original social-cognitive model, was proposed to understand learning and performance of cognitive tasks of children (Dweck, 1986; Dweck & Leggett, 1988; Erdley & Dweck, 1993).
