My intuition is that growth mindset matters if you believe it matters. And a book like Mate is read by people predisposed to growth mindset. So, I see no problem in using the concept in the book, but rather in scientific justification to apply same mindset to everyone
In the 'Mate' book, we promoted the 'growth mindset' in a couple of pages as something worth cultivating. This massive new study suggests we were wrong. Growth mindset may not matter.https://twitter.com/Russwarne/status/1152857329181704192 …
Just finished reading the big UK mindset training study. It's extremely well designed:
Randomized control study
Sample size >4000
High treatment fidelity
High statistical power
Controlled for cluster sampling

Yep. But, then it's basically just a placebo effect.

In 2001, that was the best thing to say, given the evidence available at the time.

When I started teaching in 2011, I taught mindsets. Everyone thought it was good science. It's only been in the past few years (when scientists started discovering characteristics of studies that fail to replicate) that mindset theory started looking shaky.

this is very interesting--goes against what a lot of us learned in intro psych courses!

But what was the sampling frame/ recruitment process? "Sample Size >4000" and "High statistical power" are synonyms in this context.

A study can have high sample size but low power. E.g, very low conversion ratios.

Mindset is a product of one inner-self, it cant be transferred by words. Just as Nietzsche said, a good teacher can only liberate what is one already has.
