摘要

People are more likely to exclude team members who do not contribute or are perceived as burdensome. A person’s mindset may influence their tendency to reject such burdensome members. Individuals with a fixed mindset may believe that burdensome members have low ability and that ability cannot be changed. In contrast, those with a growth mindset believe that ability is malleable, which may make them less inclined to reject burdensome members. This study explores, through two experiments, whether the relationship between an individual’s growth mindset and social exclusion of burdensome members is moderated by perceived effort. In Experiment 1, the Atimia paradigm was used to examine the role of perceived effort in the relationship between a growth mindset and the exclusion of burdensome members access to a group. The results revealed that individuals with a growth mindset were less likely to deny access to burdensome members who demonstrated effort. Experiment 2 employed the Atimia paradigm to further investigate whether a growth mindset reduces the likelihood of removing burdensome members and found similar results: individuals with a growth mindset were less likely to remove burdensome members who exhibited effort. In summary, these findings suggest that perceived effort plays a moderating role in the relationship between a growth mindset and social exclusion of burdensome members. Our study extends theories related to a growth mindset and social exclusion, providing a pathway for reducing social exclusion, particularly for individuals with high effort and low capacity.
