Is it true that growth mindset interventions improve mental health in students?
Partly. Evidence on growth mindset interventions and student mental health is mixed and only partial: a meta-analysis reports small, non-significant growth-mindset effects with preliminary wellbeing benefit, several cross-sectional studies show association but not causation, and one randomised trial found negligible effects on anxiety and depression.
