Effects of a Single-session Implicit Theories of Personality Intervention on Recovery From Social Stress and Long-term Psychological Functioning in Early Adolescents

Harvard University·interventional·Posted Apr 27, 2017·Updated Feb 7, 2019

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Implicit Theories of Personality Program and Control Program for Anxiety Symptoms and Depressive Symptoms. Completed, enrolled 96 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The goal of the project is to test whether a single-session intervention teaching incremental theories of personality, or the belief that one's personality is malleable, can strengthen recovery from social stress and reduce the development of anxiety and depression during early adolescence. Results may suggest a scalable, cost-effective approach to improving youths' coping capacities and preventing adverse mental health outcomes over time.

Interventions

Implicit Theories of Personality Programother

This 30-minute, self-administered computer program teaches youths that personality is malleable, as opposed to fixed, due to the human brain's constant potential for change and growth (i.e., neuroplasticity).

Control Programother

This 30-minute, self-administered computer program was designed to control for nonspecific aspects of completing a series of computer-based activities in the context of the present study. It was also designed to mimic 'supportive therapy' that youths might receive in usual care settings, stressing the importance of sharing one's feelings with close others.
