q2 i0 School-level aggregate (peer) growth mindset positively predicts academic resilience (β = .117; β = .091 after covariates). → King 2026

Evidence¶

King 2026¶

King, R.B., Li, J., & Wang, Y. (2026). Both individual and peer growth mindsets matter for academic resilience. npj Science of Learning. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-026-00403-z

q2 · i0 · associational · r3

Model 6 of the multilevel logit analysis of PISA 2018, with student-, school- and country-level covariates, reports peers' mindset β = .091, p < .001, "positively associated with students' academic resilience after accounting for covariates at both levels".

"Both students' (β = .198, p < .001) and peers' (β = .091, p < .001) growth mindsets were positively associated with students' academic resilience after accounting for covariates at both levels (Fig.1)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Mindset — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
