Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the predictive power of students’ patience on the sub-dimensions of interpersonal patience and long-term patience and short-term patience; the growth mindset and its sub-dimensions of procrastination, belief in invariance, effort and belief in development. The study group of the research consists of 7426 students who are studying in different geographical regions of Türkiye. They were picked for the study by using the progressive sampling method. “Patience Scale” and “Growth Mindset Scale” were used for data collection. In the study, the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable was tested by Pearson product moment correlation coefficient analysis method and the predictive power of independent variables on the dependent variable was tested by multiple regression analysis method. According to the results, the long-term patience and then the interpersonal patience sub-dimension of students’ patience predicts the variability in the procrastination and belief in invariance dimension of their growth mindsets. The long-term patience and then the interpersonal patience sub-dimension of the patience of them predict the variability in the effort and belief in invariance sub-dimension of the developmental traits. It statistically significantly predicts the variability of patience of them in growth mindsets. One of the suggestions developed within the scope of the research findings is to investigate the reasons why the short-term patience dimension does not predict the growth mindset like the other dimensions.
