“…Unlike research that has developed psychological interventions to undo the belief that academic struggle might mean you are “dumb” (Aronson et al, 2002; Blackwell et al, 2007; Wilson & Linville, 1982), or that you might not belong or be valued in a setting (Cohen et al, 2009; Cohen & Sherman, 2014; Harackiewicz et al, 2014; Walton & Cohen, 2011), research on youth purpose has to date been limited mostly to correlational survey analyses or qualitative interviews, preventing strong causal inferences (Bronk, 2012; Burrow & Hill, 2011; Yeager & Bundick, 2009; see Hill, Burrow, & Sumner, 2013; though see Hulleman & Harackiewicz, 2009). The intervention developed here has the advantage of web-based scalability and replicable effects in different populations using different outcomes.…”
