Some people ascribe successful language learning to an innate aptitude that cannot be further developed, at least after a certain young age (i.e., entity mindset), while other believe ability can improved incremental mindset). The purpose of this research is (a) introduce the Language Mindsets Inventory (LMI), and (b) test mindsets–goals–responses model, which maintains learners’ mindsets predict goals they set for learning, these in turn affect how respond difficult academic communication...
Abstract Language learners’ mindsets–their beliefs about whether language is a fixed aptitude that immutable or malleable capacity can be developed–are associated with achievement goals, language-use anxiety, reappraisals of challenges, and persistence. This study integrates these mindset-related constructs to identify mindset-system profiles among foreign learners. A latent profile analysis 234 university students in courses revealed three distinct profiles. The (21.8%) growth (20.5%)...
Introduction: Health care providers (HCPs) have experienced more stress and burnout during COVID-19 than before. We compared sources levels of stress, distress, approaches to coping between nurses physicians, examined whether strategies helped mitigate the negative impact intentions quit. Methods: Using a cross-sectional study design, was measured with Maslach Burnout Inventory. Psychological distress using Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale. A self-reported survey used evaluate stressors, on...
Recent research on mindsets has shifted from understanding its homogenous role performance to how classroom environments explain heterogeneous effects (i.e., Mindsets × Context hypothesis). Does the macro context (e.g., societal level of student mindsets) also help effects? And does this interaction effect apply students' well-being? To address these questions, we examined whether and in (math, science, reading) well-being (meaning life, positive affect, life satisfaction) depends...
Recent research conceptualizes language mindsets as a 'lens' through which learners view challenges either deficits of aptitude (i.e. entity beliefs) or opportunities to improve incremental beliefs). Extending this meaning-system approach in an intercultural context, we proposed that influence migrants' experience interaction and cultural adaptation language-based rejection sensitivity (RS) the tendency anxiously expect from native speakers due lack proficiency). Two studies 292...
We argue that growth (vs. fixed) mindsets are important for positive emotions and self-development because can foster adaptability, referring to the ability adjust oneself in different circumstances. This study examines role of adaptability whether turn, predicts learning (anxiety enjoyment), self-concept, self-efficacy. The data were collected through self-report questionnaires from 211 (141 females 70 males, Mage = 17.2 years, SDage 6.8) Iranian intermediate language learners. path...
This study examined the effects of praise for intelligence and effort on Iranian EFL learners' language mindsets, perceived communication competence, speaking anxiety, willingness to communicate (WTC). The students in three English classes (N = 63, all junior high school students) a private institute filled self-report scales WTC, then were assigned effort, intelligence, control conditions 14 classroom sessions. They answered same last session experiment. results quantitative analysis...
Increased stressful experiences are pervasive among healthcare providers (HCPs) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Identifying resources that help mitigate stress is critical to maintaining HCPs' well-being. However, our knowledge, no instrument has systematically examined how different levels of HCPs cope with COVID-19. This cross-sectional study involved 119 (64 nurses and 55 physicians) evaluated perceived availability, utilization, helpfulness a list personal, hospital, system resources....
Supporting students' growth mindsets (i.e., beliefs that ability can be improved) and basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, relatedness) is an important way to sustain their motivation resilience after challenging situations. We argue others' feedback may support or undermine need satisfaction simultaneously through meta-lay theories-that is, perceptions of whether others (in this case, teacher) believe improved not. conducted a randomized controlled experiment in which 180...
Abstract Growth language mindsets (i.e., beliefs that ability can be improved) are found to sustain learners’ motivation and resilience in challenging situations. Considering migrants who speakers of languages other than the dominant ones often face daily communications, we examined important but understudied questions ‘how’ ‘when’ growth predict migrants’ experiences, including anxiety, use, perceived English proficiency. In 3 studies, surveyed 2,163 foreign‐born university students Canada...
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has amplified preexisting racism and xenophobia. In this study, we investigated (a) whether perceived personal group discrimination make distinct contributions to Chinese Canadians' negative affect concern that the heightened they experienced during will continue after pandemic; (b) Canadian identities social support moderate effect of on concern; (c) race-based rejection sensitivity (RS) explains why each type predicts expectation future discrimination.
Are teachers with better quality of work life (QWL) more innovative, and why? This study examined the relationship between teachers' QWL their innovative behaviours, alongside potential underlying mechanisms through psychological empowerment teaching mindsets. A total 321 elementary completed a questionnaire. Path analysis demonstrated significant positive association behaviours. Moreover, both mindsets significantly mediated this relationship. Specifically, higher showed greater embraced...
Abstract Perseverance of effort is essential for success in learning a second language (L2). While past research has examined how motivational beliefs (e.g., growth mindset) influence L2 learners’ perseverance, their generalizability and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the relationship between mindsets perseverance efforts learning, as well whether this can be explained by ideal self ought‐to self. A cohort 740 EFL students from four universities China completed...
