An extensive database search identified a total of 30 interventions across 25 separate studies of imagined contact effects (total <i>N</i> = 3462). The results suggest mixed support for the effectiveness of imagined contact. Furthermore, imagined contact most often leads to improvement on the measures of intended and real intergroup behaviour, followed by the measures of intergroup attitudes. The effects on the measures of emotions are rarely measured and observed. Additionally, significant intervention effects are more often found in younger children, as well as for interventions that are researcher-led (as opposed to teacher-led) and conducted individually or in small groups. Finally, interventions incorporating modified (vs. standard) scenarios, reinforcement techniques other than writing, and multiple (vs. single) sessions tend to be more beneficial in changing intergroup bias.

UO was defined as the gap between students’ estimated and current course grades, with a larger gap indicating higher UO. Final course grades were viewed as the outcome of UO. A total of 206 participants completed baseline measures of personal factors during the first week of the semester and repeated measurements at five subsequent time points. Using person-centered trajectory analysis (e.g., latent growth mixture models), we identified three distinct UO trajectories: UO-Persistent (6.8%; consistently high UO), UO-Decreasing (26.2%; diminishing UO), and Realistic (67.0%; consistently low UO). High perfectionistic standards and dysphoria predicted UO-Persistent group membership, while perfectionistic discrepancy, self-efficacy, and belief in optimism's power did not. The Realistic group achieved higher final grades than the UO-Decreasing group. Unexpectedly, no difference was found in final grades between the strongest UO group (i.e., UO-Persistent) and other two groups. These findings suggest that UO's temporal shift is not a unitary construct, and distinct UO patterns may be associated with different academic outcomes. This study underscores the significance of comprehending temporal shifts and employing person-centered analysis in UO related to academic achievement.

As a consequence, wise interventions have been developed to target student mindsets and change their beliefs about how much their intelligence can grow with training and experience. However, the efficacy of mindset interventions is highly debated, as effect sizes vary widely across studies. Here, we hypothesized that the study environment and, in particular, the teacher’s mindset about intelligence is an important moderator of mindset intervention efficacy. We tested this hypothesis by randomly assigning six middle schools from underprivileged neighborhoods in the Paris area in France to a no intervention condition, a condition with mindset interventions delivered only to the students, and a condition with mindset interventions for teachers and students. The results show that the combined teacher and student mindset intervention condition was the most efficient for increasing the student’s growth mindset.

In this study, we used a novel approach, psychometric network analysis, to analyze the invariance of connections between non-cognitive skills measured in an international large-scale assessment—the 2018 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). We focused on four different countries in terms of immigration contexts (Australia, Canada, and Germany) and analyzed the invariance of connections among non-cognitive skills for immigrant and native students within these countries. While Australia and Canada were the examples of traditional immigration countries, Belgium and Germany represented the post-war immigration countries with less selective immigration policy. We found significant differences in the network structure among countries and immigrant status (i.e., native vs. first-generation immigrant). Interestingly, we found that the primary split occurred between countries with different immigration policies. That is, the network tree structures of Canada and Australia were more similar to one another while the network tree structures of Germany and Belgium resembled each other. The results provided empirical evidence that non-cognitive constructs are not universal across countries selected, immigrants, and native students.
