Abstract

Brief, low-cost growth mindset interventions improving academic-related outcomes can be valuable. However, less is known regarding their effectiveness on learning motivation, behaviors, and academic performance in non-Western cultures like China. This study aimed to examine the effects of a single-session growth mindset intervention on Chinese junior secondary students during the COVID-19 pandemic. We recruited 618 Chinese junior secondary school students from two schools and cluster-randomly assigned them to be the intervention school (n = 311) or the control school (n = 307). Data was collected during the fall semester of 2019 and the spring semester of 2020. Compared with the control school, students in the intervention school reported stronger growth mindset (partial η² = 0.02, p < .001), academic self-efficacy (partial η² = 0.02, p < .001), study engagement (partial η² = 0.01, p = .041), and improved Chinese performance (partial η² = 0.07, p < .001), with lower helpless attributions (partial η² = 0.03, p < .001) over time. The intervention had direct and indirect effects (i.e., via the growth mindset) on helpless attributions and academic self-efficacy, with an indirect effect on study engagement.The results support the effectiveness of the brief growth mindset intervention.

针对中国初中生的单次成长心态干预。

简短、低成本的成长型思维干预对提高学习成绩很有价值。然而，在中国这样的非西方文化背景下，这些干预措施对学习动机、行为和学业成绩的影响却鲜为人知。本研究旨在考察在 COVID-19 大流行期间对中国初中生进行单次成长心智干预的效果。我们从两所学校招募了618名中国初中生，并将他们随机分配到干预学校（n = 311）或对照学校（n = 307）。数据收集时间为2019年秋季学期和2020年春季学期。与对照学校相比，随着时间的推移，干预学校的学生报告了更强的成长心态（部分η2 = 0.02，p < .001）、学业自我效能感（部分η2 = 0.02，p < .001）、学习参与度（部分η2 = 0.01，p = .041）和更高的中文成绩（部分η2 = 0.07，p < .001），以及更低的无助归因（部分η2 = 0.03，p < .001）。干预对无助归因和学业自我效能产生了直接和间接的影响（即通过成长型思维模式），并对学习参与产生了间接影响。
