We are conducting a meta-analysis on the effect of mindset interventions (i.e., implicit theory interventions; Blackwell, Trzesniewski, & Dweck, 2007) on academic achievement. We are asking for any data you may have relevant to this topic where:

1. The study administered a mindset/implicit theory intervention directly to students;

2. The study included a comparison group (active control group, passive control group, fixed mindset/entity theory treatment comparison);

3. The study measured academic achievement (e.g., grade in a class, exam grade, GPA or performance on a standardized test) of those who participated in the intervention/were assigned to the comparison group following the intervention.

We aim to be exhaustive, so please send us any paper or results that you think may fit the criteria, including posters, spreadsheets, manuscript drafts, papers in press, dissertations, theses, etc. If you are willing to share your unpublished results or data file (whichever is more convenient for you), we would be grateful if you would send it in any form to [email protected]

Thank you very much for your time and contribution.

Sincerely,
