Numerous scholars have identified mindset history as being a critical gap in contemporary literature and also in current approaches to mindset education and training.<ref name="Buchanan2024" /><ref name="French2016" />

The first dedicated review of mindset history found that mindset psychology has a century-long history of explicit research and practice, with its origin phase taking place between 1908 and 1939, early inquiries occurring between 1940 and 1987, and contemporary bodies of work emerging in and beyond 1988. This review also identified some of the traditions of research and practice that are closely related to the origins and history of mindset psychology, some of which span back hundreds and thousands of years. Then, there are the lineages of research and practice that did not explicitly use the term mindset, but which bear some resemblance to it and are in some way related to this history.<ref name="Buchanan2024" />
