摘要：

Recent research proposes that teachers' mindsets vary regarding the importance of students' innate ability for success. While growth and fixed mindsets capture beliefs about intelligence, field-specific ability beliefs focus on a specific domain. Higher FAB scores indicate greater emphasis on innate ability. The present study examines the factorial validity of both field-specific beliefs and general mindsets and their associations with teacher motivation. Drawing on cross-sectional data from 1192 preservice teachers, results provide empirical support for a distinction between FABs and fixed mindset. Moreover, FABs differ significantly among preservice teachers from various subjects. Finally, FABs significantly correlate with teachers' motivational attributes.
