Students living in rural areas of the United States exhibit lower levels of educational attainment than their suburban counterparts. Innovative interventions are needed to close this educational achievement gap. We investigated if an online growth mindset intervention could be leveraged to promote academic outcomes. We tested the mindset intervention in a sample of 222 10th grade adolescent girls (M age=15.2; 38% White, 25% Black, 29% Hispanic) from four rural, low-income high schools in the Southeastern United States. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy the growth mindset intervention, relative to a sexual health program. We used random sampling and allocation procedures to assign girls to either the mindset intervention (n=115) or an attention-matched control program (n=107). We assessed participants at pretest, immediate posttest, and four-month follow-up. Relative to the control condition, students assigned to the mindset intervention reported stronger growth mindsets at immediate posttest and four-month follow-up. Although the intervention did not have a total effect on academic attitudes or grades, it indirectly increased motivation to learn, learning efficacy and grades via the shifts in growth mindsets. Results indicate that this intervention is a promising method to encourage growth mindsets in rural adolescent girls.
