Strengthening School Connectedness to Increase Student Success
Category: Student Well-Being
Instrument Overview
Psychologist Carol Dweck created the 3-item Growth Mindset Scale to measure how much people believe that they can get smarter if they work at it. The scale is freely available. Researchers have used this scale primarily with students, including college students whose parents did not complete a four-year college degree (i.e., first-generation college students) and high school students living on a low income in Chile (Claro, Paunesku, & Dweck, 2016). Researchers have also used this scale with adults (Thompson et al., 2013), although not with adults in poverty.
