Can we change parents’ mindsets about math? Yes! Does this help their children do better in math? Well… new work led by Carolyn MacDonald with Oh, Pomerantz, @andreicimpian doi.org/10.1037/dev00017681/…

Applying for a PhD in social psych? Consider Florida! We've got rocks! We've got gators! We've got awesome grad students doing awesome things. I will likely be taking a student this fall - if you find boredom interesting, and personality boring, let's talk!

But we did see overall improvements for ALL parents’ math practices over time, even the control group. Maybe our active control was just too helpful (we talked about Common Core and how to support math learning) to see a difference for the mindset intervention. 7/8

Intervention work is messy! I hope this inspires others to think about how parents’ beliefs shape (or fail to shape) their parenting practices. I encourage you to read the full paper (DM me if you need access). 8/8

However, the intervention didn’t change parents’ practices when working with their kids on math. And since parents’ behaviors didn’t change, kids’ math adjustment didn’t seem to be stronger in the intervention group either. 6/8

The results? We were able to successfully help parents in the intervention condition see that math ability can improve. The changes were sustained throughout the study. That’s the first step in a successful intervention! 5/8

We gave parents mindset brochures, opportunities to practice a growth mindset, and ideas about how to do math at home. We followed families for about 1.5 years to see what impact the intervention had on beliefs, parenting practices, and children’s math adjustment. 4/8

We conducted a randomized control trial (with an active control condition) to see if getting parents of elementary schoolers to see that math ability can grow and that failures are a part of that process would improve children’s math learning. 3/8

There is some evidence that is helpful for students to have a growth mindset (the belief that your ability can grow) because it helps you persist through challenges, but it might be particularly helpful if the people around you also believe this. 2/8
