q3 · i0 · causal · r3

Study 1 proxy outcomes measured after two sessions; effects were "small, ds = .07 and 06" — both below d = 0.2 — because the contrast was "the group difference between two growth mindset interventions."

"The revised intervention significantly reduced fixed-trait, person-focused attributions as well as performance avoidance goals, compared to the original intervention, ps<.01 (see Table 3). These effects were small, ds = .07 and 06, but recall that this is the group difference between two growth mindset interventions."
