Strong disagreements have stymied today’s political discourse. We investigate intellectual humility – recognizing the limits of one’s knowledge and appreciating others’ strengths as one factor that can make more constructive. In Studies 1 2, participants with higher were open to learning about opposition’s views during imagined disagreements. Study 3, those exposed themselves a greater proportion opposing perspectives. 4, making salient growth mindset intelligence boosted humility, and, in...
Entrepreneurship offers a viable and proven pathway to economic growth personal fulfillment. However, the number of individuals engaged in entrepreneurial behaviors remains low. This discrepancy between attitudes action underscores need for programs that foster development entrepreneurship today's youth. We argue relational developmental systems approach can help researchers understand facilitate entrepreneurship. In this study, we triangulate across quantitative qualitative data from Y oung...
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have been felt across globe. While health experts work to spread life-saving information, misinformation and fake news about virus undermine these efforts. What actions can people take when confronting misinformation, what factors motivate actions? We propose that engage in investigative behaviors (e.g., fact-checking, seeking alternative opinions) scrutinize validity information they encounter, we examine intellectual humility as a predictor important...
Participating in civic life is an important developmental task of adolescence and a central tenet democracy. What motivates diverse youth the United States to become involved life? Using mixed-method person-centered approach, authors (1) identified subgroups participants based on their motivations for political nonpolitical volunteering (2) explored differences by ethnic immigration backgrounds among Asian Latino adolescents. latent class analysis, four classes motivation (n = 414) volunteer...
The COVID-19 pandemic necessitates adherence to scientifically supported prevention strategies, such as social distancing. Although most Americans support distancing, a subset of conservatives reject the scientific consensus on this matter. We explored why some focusing how trust in science contributes ideological differences distancing intentions. In two studies, we replicated recent research demonstrating that report lower for compared liberals. However, Study 1 found moderating role...
In the USA, civic involvement in adolescence includes political and nonpolitical activities. Given that identities can motivate behavior, how do moral relate to activity choices? this study, high school students (N = 1578) were surveyed about their actions identities. Overall, more involved service than they Hierarchical regression analyses used investigate relation between identity involvement, controlling for known correlates of involvement: sex, ethnicity, parent education, peer...
School underachievement is a persistent problem in the United States. Direct-to-student, computer-delivered growth-mindset interventions have shown promise as way to improve achievement for students at risk of failing school; however, these benefit only who happen be classrooms that support beliefs. Here, we tested teacher-delivered intervention U.S. adolescents Grades 6 and 7 was designed both impart beliefs create supportive classroom environment where those could flourish (N = 1,996...
Abstract The present study sought to (1) determine whether Barrett's counterintuitiveness coding and quantifying scheme (CI-Scheme) could be applied cultural materials with sufficient intercoder reliability, (2) provide evidence concerning just how counterintuitive is too for a concept recurrent idea, (3) test intentional agent concepts are more common in folktales than other classes of concepts. Seventy-three from around the world were sampled larger collections. Using CI-Scheme, two...
The spread of online political misinformation has ramifications for polarization, trust in systems, and the functioning democracy. In this article, we advance findings on investigative behaviors-actions aimed at determining veracity information encountered online-in response to misinformation. Across three preregistered studies (N = 889), find that behaviors increase accuracy discernment (Study 1), intellectual humility reliably predicts context 2), test a novel fallibility salience...
The speed–accuracy trade-off (SAT) suggests that time constraints reduce response accuracy. Its relevance in observational settings—where (RT) may not be constrained but respondent speed still vary—is unclear. Using 29 data sets containing from cognitive tasks, we use a flexible method for identification of the SAT (which test extensive simulation studies) to probe whether holds. We find inconsistent relationships between and accuracy; marginal increases an individual do necessarily predict...
The expression of intellectual humility-publicly admitting confusion, ignorance, and mistakes-can benefit individuals, but can it also others? Five studies tested the hypothesis that teachers' expressions humility would boost U.S. students' motivation engagement in learning. In two pilot (one preregistered, combined
Mastery behaviours — seeking out challenging tasks and continuing to work on them despite difficulties are integral achievement but difficult measure with precision. The current study reports the development validation of computer-based persistence, effort, resilience, challenge-seeking (PERC) task in two demographically diverse samples adolescents (total N = 3,188). We present evidence for convergent validity self-reported mastery learning mindsets, discriminant from theoretically unrelated...
Expressing intellectual humility – admitting one's ignorance and mistakes can facilitate learning, but how to encourage expression of in students remains an open question. The goal the current longitudinal study (N = 547 youth) was understand teaching practices perceptions classroom environment shape expressed middle school students. In multilevel Bayesian analyses with informative priors, mastery-oriented predicted changes perceived mastery structure, which turn over one year. first year...
Beliefs about the malleability of intellectual ability—mindsets—shape achievement. Recent evidence suggests that even young children hold such mindsets; yet, no reliable and valid instruments exist for measuring individual differences in children’s mindsets. Given potential relevance mindsets to achievement-related behavior learning, we developed tested psychometric properties Growth Mindset Scale Children (GM-C). Among other properties, assessed this instrument’s (a) factor structure, (b)...
The correspondence hypothesis maintains that people with secure parental attachments will experience gradual religious conversions, internal working models of childhood attachment figures forming the basis to God. compensation predicts insecure sudden and dramatic conversions as they seek a relationship God compensate for relationships. In Study 1, faith narratives from 162 adolescents were analyzed; associations between type conversion reflected in narrative support both hypotheses. 2, data...
We tested the effectiveness of a growth mindset intervention for N = 354 adolescents from low resource schools in Western Cape, South Africa. Growth measures demonstrated good psychometric properties our sample. found mixed evidence an effect: did not find that improved mastery behavior or math achievement test scores, but treatment-on-the-treated (TOT) analyses showed positive effects on those who received (0.32 SDs). TOT provided some grades, comparable magnitude with previous research...
Information-seeking after making mistakes or when experiencing uncertainty, including bids for help, is an important aspect of self-regulated learning. We compared information-seeking during a puzzle-solving task in 8- and 9-year-olds, 11- 12-year-olds, 16- 17-year-olds (N = 197). found that 9-year-olds were less efficient their information-seeking, they more likely than other age groups to seek help following correct response. Additionally, the rate error was positively related academic...
Beliefs about the malleability of intellectual ability—mindsets—shape achievement. Recent evidence suggests that even young children hold such mindsets; yet, no reliable and valid instruments exist for measuring individual differences in children’s mindsets. Here, we developed made freely available an instrument this purpose—the Growth Mindset Scale Children (GM-C), suitable as 4. Among other psychometric properties, assessed instrument’s (a) measurement invariance, (b) internal consistency,...
