First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether teaching adolescent girls that emotions can change (a 'growth mindset') affects how they process emotions. 163 girls aged 13-18 completed a computer lesson, then underwent brain scans and stress tests. The goal was to see if a growth mindset leads to healthier emotional responses at the brain and behavior level.
