Mindset research is an interdisciplinary field of inquiry. Some of the earliest studies to explicitly include mindset as an area of focus were conducted in the 1910s and 1920s, primarily within a psychology and education context. This includes studies by scholars including [[Thaddeus Lincoln Bolton]] (1909), Edward Kellogg Strong and Margaret Hart Strong (1913), [[Edward Lee Thorndike]] (1913), [[Alexander James Inglis]] (1918), [[William Heard Kilpatrick]] (1921), and more.<ref name="Buchanan2024a">Buchanan, A.

Between the 1980s and 2000s, mindset research and its applications began to expand into other areas, including Glen Fisher’s (1988) studies in international relations, [[Ellen Langer]]’s (1989) research on mindfulness, [[Peter Gollwitzer]]’s (1989) psychology of action phases,<ref>Gollwitzer, P.

In 2024, the first systematic reviews of the mindset field were published by researcher Ash Buchanan, exploring how mindset definitions, theories, and type-based classifications have changed over time and across various contexts. The findings from these reviews were published in the Handbook of Mindset Research.<ref name="Buchanan2024a">Buchanan, A.
