In decision theory and general systems theory, a mindset is a set of assumptions, methods, or notions held by one or more people or groups. A mindset is also seen as arising from a person's worldview or philosophy of life.
A mindset can be so firmly established that it creates a powerful incentive within people or groups to keep adopting or accepting prior behaviors, choices, or tools. This is also called "mental inertia" or "groupthink". It can be difficult to counteract its effects on analysis and decision-making processes.
In cognitive psychology, a mindset refers to the cognitive processes activated in response to a given task.(French, 2016).
