How to use it

Believing abilities can grow helps a little, mostly for students who are struggling, and only where the people around them back it up. One large review found the average effect small and inflated by weaker studies; another found meaningful effects for at-risk groups. Pair the belief with a method.

How sure we are

C Evidence: contested. The research disagrees. Named, so you can stop worrying about it.
