q3 i2 Higher growth mindset endorsement is associated with larger Pe difference amplitude (r = 0.20, p = 0.03) in children completing a go/no-go task. → Schroder Hans S. 2017

Evidence¶

Schroder Hans S. 2017¶

Schroder Hans S., Fisher Megan E., Lin Yanli, Lo Sharon L., Danovitch Judith H., Moser Jason S. (2017). Neural evidence for enhanced attention to mistakes among school-aged children with a growth mindset. Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcn.2017.01.004

q3 · i2 · associational · r2

Correlational ERP analysis of 123 children performing a child-friendly go/no-go task; mindset entered as covariate in the Pe ANOVA. The Accuracy x Mindset interaction emerged (F(1, 122) = 4.80, p = 0.03, η2p = 0.04), and "higher growth mindset endorsement was associated with larger Pe difference" (r = 0.20, p = 0.03).

"correlational analyses demonstrated that higher growth mindset endorsement was associated with larger Pe difference (calculated as the difference between positivity on error trials relative to that on correct trials) averaged across the midline electrode sites (r = 0.20, p = 0.03"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Growth mindset endorsement is associated with higher post-error accuracy but not post-correct accuracy in children
• Growth mindset predicts post-error accuracy for children with small Pe amplitudes but not large Pe amplitudes (exploratory moderation)
• Growth mindset is unrelated to the ERN (early, automatic error-processing component) in children
• Pe amplitude on error trials relates to post-error accuracy, but Pe does not mediate the mindset–post-error accuracy link in children
