1. mentality

   A mindset is an "established set of attitudes, esp. regarded as typical of a particular group's social or cultural values; the outlook, philosophy, or values of a person; (now also more generally) frame of mind, attitude, [and] disposition." It may also arise from a person's worldview or philosophy of life.A firmly-established mindset could create an incentive to adopt (or accept) previous behaviors, choices, or tools, sometimes known as cognitive inertia or "groupthink." Within these concepts, it may be difficult to counteract its effects on analysis and decision-making.In cognitive psychology, a mindset is the cognitive process activated in response to a given task (French, 2016). According to French and Chang (2016), scholarly concepts of mindset shift "to the varied definitions and conceptualizations" which "demarcates this literature via a novel categorization using the construct of mindset."

Examples of mentality in a Sentence

1. Eamon Weber:

   The rules are changing every day still, we're obviously going to play by the rules, we want to be as safe as possible. We want all of our customers be as safe as possible, the employees safe as possible. But we are still kind of in that, we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, mentality.

   The mentality of the consumer during the peak months or moments of the pandemic perfectly aligned with the club model.

3. Chief Operating Officer Kevin Demoff:

   It starts with the design of the stadium. This is the most vertical stadium in the NFL. Seats are closer to the field than any other comparable stadium in the NFL. You feel the noise, you feel the energy. Technology brings it to life. But it’s truly our fans – Rams fans and Charger fans. I think they’ve come to adopt this home-field mentality from so many times whether we were in the Coliseum or Dignity Health Center, these temporary stadiums, to they have a sense of ownership of this building. A sense of pride and you see it all the time, i think they walk in and realize they have the best stadium in the NFL and they get to be here and it is a loud building. When you’re here, you leave with your ears ringing. Every time you go in, you talk to Sean McVay, I’m sure Brandon (Staley) as well, after a game and it’s like I have a massive headache. I think that’s the best part of what our fans bring – that energy. And it is rare that people talk about the noise in a building in Los Angeles. It’s just not the way our buildings are designed or what the fans are known for but I think it’s given all sports fans in Los Angeles something to be proud of.

4. Barbara Byrne:

   Job growth in non-traditional tourism sectors like tech and finance really had an impact on Florida markets and there’s always this herd mentality in the finance sector, so a lot of hedge funds either moved to Florida or they set up an office.
