Abstract<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Efforts to reduce youth mental health<\/a> problems have advanced greatly, but have not lowered overall rates of youth mental illness. Thus, a need exists for disseminable, mechanism-targeted approaches to reducing the risk of youth psychopathology. Accordingly, we conducted a randomized-controlled trial testing whether a single-session intervention teaching growth personality mindsets<\/a> (the belief that personality is malleable) reduced known risk factors for anxiety and depression in adolescents experiencing or at risk for internalizing problems<\/a> (N = 96, ages 12\u201315). Compared to a supportive-therapy control, a 30-min computer-guided mindset intervention strengthened adolescents’ perceived control; this improvement was associated with increases in growth mindsets. Further, electrodermal activity<\/a> recovery slopes showed that youths receiving the mindset intervention recovered from a lab-based social stressor over three times as fast as control group youths. Improvements in growth mindsets and perceived control were linked with faster stress recovery. Results suggest a disseminable strategy for reducing internalizing problem risk among adolescents.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
