We tried this and it works for stressed adults, too.
, to name just a few. The good news is that researchers have recently created a 30-minute online class about growth mindset that can improve a teenager’s response to stressful situations, especially when it comes to stress about academic things like giving a presentation to the class and getting good grades. And the best part is that they’ve made it free and publicly available for anyone to use.
“We’re trying to change teenagers’ beliefs about stressful situations and their responses to stressful situations,” Dr. David Yeager, a psychologist at the University of Texas at Austin and first author of the study, told. “We’re trying to get teenagers to realize that when you’re doing something hard and your body starts to feel stressed, that could be a good thing.”
With a growth mindset, however, a student struggling with math would be able to reframe stress and its physiological symptoms like a racing heart and sweat as a sign that the brain is growing. Instead of the stress adding to the student’s anxiety, the student takes it as a cue to continue working towards understanding math better, knowing that the stress will dissipate as they continue to growth and strengthen this part of their brain.
