Background: Intelligence theory research has illustrated that people hold either fixed (intelligence is immutable) or growth (intelligence can be improved) mindsets and that these views may affect how people learn throughout their lifetime. Little is known about the mindsets of physicians, and how mindset may affect their lifetime learning and integration of feedback. Our objective was to determine if pediatric physicians are of the fixed or growth mindset and whether individual mindset affects perception of medical error reporting. Methods: We sent an anonymous electronic survey to pediatric residents and attending pediatricians at a tertiary care pediatric hospital. Respondents completed the Theories of Intelligence Inventory which classifies individuals on a 6-point scale ranging from 1 (Fixed Mindset) to 6 (Growth Mindset). Subsequent questions collected data on respondents' recall of medical errors by self or others. Results: We received 176/349 responses (50 %). Participants were equally distributed between mindsets with 84 (49 %) classified as fixed and 86 (51 %) as growth. Residents, fellows and attendings did not differ in terms of mindset. Mindset did not correlate with the small number of reported medical errors. Conclusions: There is no dominant theory of intelligence (mindset) amongst pediatric physicians. The distribution is similar to that seen in the general population. Mindset did not correlate with error reports.
