A simple, scalable growth mindset intervention increases students’ sense of research community belonging in underrepresented minority and first generation undergraduates
Students who believe intelligence is malleable rather than fixed – who hold a growth mindset – demonstrate increased motivation, resilience, and academic success. However, evidence for the effectiveness of mindset interventions in higher education is mixed, and most studies focus on introductory STEM courses and performance outcomes such as grades. Little is known about mindset effects in upper-level, research-intensive courses where students dev…
Numbing and Hyperarousal as Mediators of Exposure to Community Violence and Depression in Urban African-American Youth
The Role of Neighborhood in the Development of Aggression in Urban African American Youth
The purpose of this study was to examine the role of neighborhood disadvantage and perceptions of neighborhood on the development of aggressive behavior among a sample of urban low‐income African American middle school aged youth (mean age = 11.65 years). Results of hierarchical linear modeling indicated that youth experienced significant changes in rates of aggression across the three middle school years, and that on average, negative youth perc…
Mortality Salience Motivates the Defense of Environmental Values and Increases Collective Ecoguilt
In highlighting the potentially catastrophic effects of environmentally harmful behavior, proenvironmental campaigns may inadvertently induce what social psychologists call mortality salience. An uncomfortable awareness of one's inevitable demise, mortality salience motivates individuals to act in line with important social values and to feel guilty when they fail to do so. Guilt, in turn, motivates proenvironmental behavior. It is unclear, howev…
An Apology to Darwin
We provide critical comments on a recent paper by Barash (1972) in which he describes the seating preferences and frequencies of looking up by students in a cafeteria. While we do not quarrel with his data, we reject the evolutionary assumptions and ethological identifications which are explicitly introduced throughout Barash's paper
