Growth mindset therapies have become increasingly popular, however their efficacy and the range of their impacts continue to be a subject of interest for researchers and policymakers. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to assess the effects of these interventions. The study specifically looked at important factors that could influence the outcomes, such as specific groups of people who were expected to benefit and how well the interventions were implemented. The study comprised 53 separate samples that examined different interventions and documented diverse impacts on outcomes such as academic performance, mental well-being, and social functioning. The findings demonstrated a variety of impacts, emphasizing the necessity for additional investigation and comprehension of the diversity in growth mindset interventions. Nevertheless, the existing body of literature remains insufficient, necessitating further research to investigate the modifiers and limitations of these interventions.
