This is the "growth" mindset, actually. There's very little that it can't be usefully applied to.
Where does that terminology come from?
The work of Carol Dweck, see the book "Mindsets". I also recently wrote a blog post that ties her work together with Seligman's 3Ps/optimism model, and my own "pain/gain" and "successful/struggling" models, at: http://dirtsimple.org/2009/03/stumbling-on-success.html
I expect to be writing more on this soon, as this weekend I found a connection between the "fixed" mindset and "all-or-nothing" thinking in several areas I hadn't previously considered candidates for such.
