q3 i? Parental growth mindset slopes were significant and negative for both fathers (b = −0.019, p < 0.01) and mothers (b = −0.016, p < 0.01), with significant individual differences. → Jiao Chen and Chunhui Liu 2023

Jiao Chen and Chunhui Liu. (2023). The longitudinal association between children’s growth mindset in senior primary school and their parents’ growth mindset. Front. Psychol. 14:1110944. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2023.1110944

q3 · i? · associational · r3

Univariate latent growth curve models for fathers (n = 3,436) and mothers (n = 3,509) across five waves. Both showed significant negative slopes; significant intercept and slope variance indicated individual differences in starting levels and rates of change. A negative intercept–slope correlation was significant for mothers but not fathers.

"The parental unconditional latent growth curve models were similar to the children’s model, and the slope factor of growth mindset was significant and negative (b = −0.019, p < 0.01, for fathers, b = −0.016, p < 0.01, for mothers)"

Related Claims¶

• Mothers' initial growth mindset positively predicted children's growth mindset two-and-a-half years later
• The rate of change in mothers' growth mindset predicted both children's later growth mindset level and children's own rate of change
• Neither the initial level nor the decline of fathers' growth mindset significantly predicted children's growth mindset development
• Fathers' initial growth mindset predicted girls' later growth mindset but not boys', a gender-moderated path
