q2 i1 Students' growth mindset correlates with academic resilience at r = .15, and peers' growth mindset at r = .19 (both p < .001). → 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 · i1 · associational · r2

Preliminary correlational analysis of the PISA 2018 sample found "r = .15 (p < .001)" for students' mindset and r = .19 for peers' mindset with academic resilience, computed from descriptive statistics of the full sample.

"The correlation between students' growth mindset and academic resilience was r = .15 (p < .001), and between peers' growth mindset and students' academic resilience was r = .19 (p < .001)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

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