Theory of mind

Theory of Mind is the branch of cognitive science that investigates how we ascribe mental states to ourselves and others and how we use the states to explain and predict the actions of other people, serving as one of the foundational elements for social interaction.

Consciousness

Consciousness, at its simplest, is sentience and awareness of internal and external existence. We can think and act beyond instinctual drives and conditioning. We can be autonomous. While this autonomy is a possibility, it is not given. We must develop it through conscious choices.

Growth mindset

A growth mindset is a belief that a person's abilities and intelligence can be developed and improved through effort, learning, and experience. People with a growth mindset see challenges and setbacks as opportunities for learning and growth, rather than as failures.

Fixed mindset

A fixed mindset is a belief that a person's abilities and intelligence are set and cannot be changed. People with a fixed mindset see their abilities as fixed traits that cannot be changed, and they often avoid challenges and new experiences because they believe that they will not be able to succeed at them.

Reflective practice

Reflective practice is the ability to reflect on one's actions so as to take a critical stance or attitude towards one's own practice and that of one's peers, engaging in a process of continuous adaptation and learning.

Perspective-taking

Our daily life is full of small, seemingly insignificant, interpersonal interactions. These small interactions have an especially strong impact in the workplace when working with internal and external stakeholders in different contexts.

Functional roles and norms

There are many ways that people can influence our behavior, but perhaps one of the most important is that the presence of others seems to set up expectations. We do not expect people to behave randomly but to behave in certain ways in particular situations.

Hidden bias

Hidden biases refer to unconscious or implicit biases that a person may hold. These biases are not necessarily intentional or malicious, but they can still have a significant impact on decision-making and behavior. Examples of hidden biases include stereotypes, prejudices, and assumptions that people may hold without being aware of them.
