1. A national experiment reveals where a growth mindset improves achievement

   David S. Yeager, Paul Hanselman, G. Walton, et al. · 2019 · Nature · 1,528 cites

   A global priority for the behavioural sciences is to develop cost-effective, scalable interventions that could improve the academic outcomes of adolescents at a population level, but no such interventions have so far been evaluated in a population-generalizable sample. Here we show that a short (less than one hour), online growth mindset intervention—which teaches that intellectual abilities can be developed—improved grades among lower-achieving students and increased overall enrolment to advanced mathematics courses in a nationally representative sample of students in secondary education in the United States. Notably, the study identified school contexts that sustained the effects of the gr

2. Building Grit: The Longitudinal Pathways between Mindset, Commitment, Grit, and Academic Outcomes

   Xin Tang, Ming‐Te Wang, Jiesi Guo, et al. · 2019 · Journal of Youth and Adolescence · 295 cites

   Despite academics' enthusiasm about the concept of grit (defined as consistency of interest and perseverance of effort), its benefit for academic achievement has recently been challenged. Drawing from a longitudinal sample (N = 2018; 55.3% female; sixth-nineth grades) from Finland, this study first aimed to investigate and replicate the association between grit and achievement outcomes (i.e., academic achievement and engagement). Further, the present study examined whether growth mindset and goal commitment impacted grit and whether grit acted as a mediator between growth mindset, goal commitment, and achievement outcomes. The results showed that the perseverance facet of grit in the eighth

3. Do growth mindset interventions impact students' academic achievement? A systematic review and meta-analysis with recommendations for best practices.

   B. Macnamara, Alexander P. Burgoyne · 2022 · Psychological bulletin · 286 cites

   According to mindset theory, students who believe their personal characteristics can change-that is, those who hold a growth mindset-will achieve more than students who believe their characteristics are fixed. Proponents of the theory have developed interventions to influence students' mindsets, claiming that these interventions lead to large gains in academic achievement. Despite their popularity, the evidence for growth mindset intervention benefits has not been systematically evaluated considering both the quantity and quality of the evidence. Here, we provide such a review by (a) evaluating empirical studies' adherence to a set of best practices essential for drawing causal conclusions a

4. Leveraging Mindsets to Promote Academic Achievement

   Aneeta Rattan, Krishna Savani, Dolly Chugh, et al. · 2015 · Perspectives on Psychological Science · 243 cites

   The United States must improve its students' educational achievement. Race, gender, and social class gaps persist, and, overall, U.S. students rank poorly among peers globally. Scientific research shows that students' psychology-their "academic mindsets"-have a critical role in educational achievement. Yet policymakers have not taken full advantage of cost-effective and well-validated mindset interventions. In this article, we present two key academic mindsets. The first, a growth mindset, refers to the belief that intelligence can be developed over time. The second, a belonging mindset, refers to the belief that people like you belong in your school or in a given academic field. Extensive r

5. Effects of teaching the concept of neuroplasticity to induce a growth mindset on motivation, achievement, and brain activity: A meta-analysis

6. Growing Growth Mindset with a Social Robot Peer

   Hae Won Park, Rinat B. Rosenberg‐Kima, Maor Rosenberg, et al. · 2017 · 138 cites

   Mindset has been shown to have a large impact on people's academic, social, and work achievements. A growth mindset, i.e., the belief that success comes from effort and perseverance, is a better indicator of higher achievements as compared to a fixed mindset, i.e., the belief that things are set and cannot be changed. Interventions aimed at promoting a growth mindset in children range from teaching about the brain's ability to learn and change, to playing computer games that grant brain points for effort rather than success. This work explores a novel paradigm to foster a growth mindset in young children where they play a puzzle solving game with a peer-like social robot. The social robot is

7. Improving general chemistry performance through a growth mindset intervention: selective effects on underrepresented minorities

   Angela Fink, Michael J. Cahill, M. McDaniel, et al. · 2018 · Chemistry Education Research and Practice · 129 cites

   Women and minorities remain underrepresented in chemistry bachelor's degree attainment in the United States, despite efforts to improve their early chemistry achievement through supplemental academic programs and active-learning approaches. We propose an additional strategy for addressing these disparities: course-based, social-psychological interventions. For example, growth-mindset interventions are designed to support students during challenging academic transitions by encouraging them to view intelligence as a flexible characteristic that can be developed through practice, rather than a fixed ability. Previous research has shown that such interventions can improve the overall performance

8. An Online Growth Mindset Intervention in a Sample of Rural Adolescent Girls

   Jeni L. Burnette, M. Russell, Crystal L. Hoyt, et al. · 2017 · The British journal of educational psychology · 119 cites

   Background Students living in rural areas of the United States exhibit lower levels of educational attainment than their suburban counterparts. Innovative interventions are needed to close this educational achievement gap. Aims We investigated if an online growth mindset intervention could be leveraged to promote academic outcomes. Sample We tested the mindset intervention in a sample of 222 10th grade adolescent girls (M age=15.2; 38% White, 25% Black, 29% Hispanic) from four rural, low-income high schools in the Southeastern United States. Methods We conducted a randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy the growth mindset intervention, relative to a sexual health program. We used ra
