What you get
What a Growth Mindset Is
The definition researchers use, two eras of research, and why the idea is a question for evidence.
Mindsets and Self-Regulation
What 113 samples and 28,217 people showed about mindsets, learning goals, mastery strategies and setbacks.
A National Experiment
A one-hour online programme in a nationally representative US sample, what it changed, and the role of peers.
How Big Are the Effects?
A pooled analysis of 53 randomised samples: small average effects, wide ranges and what to expect.
Two More Pooled Analyses: Achievement
Two meta-analyses by another team: 273 studies and 365,915 students on mind-set and achievement, 43 studies and 57,155 students on programmes. Weak overall effects, and who might benefit.
When Teachers Deliver It
A randomised trial with 1,996 students and 50 teachers: a 0.27 standard deviation gain for struggling students, and where it was largest.
Mindsets and Grades Over Two Years
373 seventh graders followed for two years, and a small intervention (48 treated, 43 control) that reversed a decline in grades.
How Parents Talk About Failure
Children read their parents' views of failure, not of intelligence, and those views went with the children's own beliefs.
A 45-Minute Programme and Low Mood
A trial of 222 tenth-grade girls: a modest reduction in depression symptoms (d = 0.23), no change in conduct problems.
Mindsets About Stress
Three randomised experiments: a balanced, metacognitive approach to stress mindsets held up after contradictory information.
The Controversies and What They Teach
What the leading researchers concluded about replication and variation, and how to read a contested science.
Using the Idea Without the Hype
A balanced way to use the idea: as a lens, with strategy, fixing context first, and measuring.
A Practice Routine
Four if-then plans and a light weekly routine that turn the book into habit.
Drills: Reading the Evidence and Changing the Words
Link or experiment, reading effect sizes and intervals, rewriting fixed statements, pairing goals, setback plans and claim checks, with checked answers. Practice material, not research.
Tools and Glossary
A learning-goal card, setback log, evidence card, norms check, a glossary of 15 terms and a first-month plan. Practice material, not research.
What makes this different
Every research claim names its study
Each research claim names the study, its size where the abstract gave it, and where it was done. A Sources section lists all 12.
Evidence and hype kept apart
The book reports small average effects and wide ranges alongside the encouraging results, and drills teach you to read intervals yourself.
Practice and tools to copy
Drills with answer keys, a setback log and an evidence card, labelled as practice material, not research.
