Abstract:

The growth mindset is a crucial factor influencing educational outcomes, and investigating its relationship with learning engagement and the underlying mechanisms holds practical significance in enhancing academic achievements among adolescents. Study 1 employed an experimental approach to conduct video interventions with 202 participants from junior high school. The findings revealed that participants in the growth mindset intervention group demonstrated significantly higher scores in learning engagement compared to the control group. In Study 2, a questionnaire survey was conducted with 838 vocational school students. Furthermore, Study 3 involved the analysis of sample data from 11,865 secondary school students in four provinces and cities in China, utilizing the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA 2018) dataset. Two studies found consistent results: (1) Growth mindset significantly positively predicted learning engagement. (2) Grit and life satisfaction played partial mediating roles between growth mindset and learning engagement. (3) Growth mindset also had an impact on learning engagement through the chain mediating effect of grit and life satisfaction. In conclusion, this study reveals the underlying psychological mechanisms of growth mindset and learning engagement, and has some implications for the students' learning engagement.

Key words: growth mindset, grit, life satisfaction, learning engagement, adolescents
