Comparing Self-Efficacy, Self-Compassion, and Growth Mindset Among Adults With and Without Traumatic Brain Injury

As a group, individuals with TBI did not demonstrate significant differences on self-efficacy and self-compassion measures relative to uninjured peers and also demonstrated higher growth mindset. Thus, evidence does not support the assumption that these are areas of deficit for individuals with TBI history, which suggests that the NGSE, the SCS-SF, and the Growth Mindset Scale are not meaningful ways of measuring progress during cognitive-linguistic treatment in college students who have sustained TBIs unless an individual demonstrates specific deficits in these areas.
