Current Research
We study mindsets across contexts, attributes, and experiences. We use a wide variety of research designs, ranging from interventions to basic experimental methods to longitudinal surveys. Some example current projects are below.
Management
We are working on a systematic review of mindset research in management. The primary goal is to offer a scoping review of existing work from an intervention lens. Namely, we organize the review using the Mindset Intervention Effectiveness (MIE) model which seeks to explain when and why growth mindset interventions influence outcomes.
Flourishing
Psychologists are uniquely positioned to help with our collective obligation to advance scientific knowledge in ways that can help individuals reach optimal functioning. In this ongoing line of work, we examine how to harness growth mindsets to promote psychological flourishing and improve wellbeing. We are working on an overall theoretical model as well as an agenda for future research that can move the field towards more translational intervention work.
PArenting Mindsets
We are starting to explore how beliefs about the nature of parenting abilities predict joy and engagement as well as kids' mindsets, anxiety, and coping.
