Reframing erroneous beliefs alleviates the emotional upheavals that beset young people on the cusp of adulthood
Close your eyes. Cast your mind back to high school and a high-stakes moment in your most difficult course with your toughest teacher. I’ll go first: : Senior year, Mr. Trice, the final exam in AP Physics. I remember where I was sitting. I remember staring at the paper, feeling I didn’t know any of the answers. My heart was pounding; my palms were sweating. I was certain I would fail.
Rigorously tested in multiple experiments involving thousands of high school and college students before and during the pandemic, the brief, scalable intervention appears to shift something fundamental: our interpretation of the world around us and our response to it. Compared with those in a control group, participants in the intervention group thought about stress differently, turning it into a means of energizing the motivation to accomplish a goal.
Criticisms of some previous mindset research emphasized the lack of statistical rigor or meaningful effects of an intervention on participants. The new paper uses Bayesian analysis, which is widely considered a more reliable measure of the effects of behavioral interventions than other techniques, such as null hypothesis tests of statistical significance. The effect sizes—measuring how strong a finding is—varied from small to large across the six experiments.
