The relationship between growth mindset and adolescent psychological well-being: the parallel mediating roles of grit and learning engagement.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundWhile existing research has established associations among growth mindset, grit, learning engagement, and psychological well-being, the underlying mechanisms-specifically, whether grit and learning engagement serve as parallel mediators in the relationship between growth mindset and psychological well-being-remain underexplored.
methodsThis cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between growth mindset and adolescent psychological well-being, focusing on the potential parallel mediating roles of grit and learning engagement. In February 2025, 1142 adolescents from Shandong and Jiangsu provinces completed questionnaires assessing these constructs. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) with AMOS 24.0 and SPSS 24.0.
results(1) Growth mindset was significantly and positively associated with psychological well-being; (2) Grit mediated the relationship between growth mindset and psychological well-being; (3) Learning engagement mediated this relationship between growth mindset and psychological well-being.
conclusionThese findings provide a novel theoretical perspective for understanding the determinants of adolescents' psychological well-being. Additionally, they offer important implications for educational practice: targeted interventions (e.g., growth mindset training, grit cultivation, and learning engagement) are feasible approaches to improving adolescents' psychological well-being.
