Mindset Intervention

This secondary-analysis register report aims at testing the role of emotion in the intervention effect of an experimental intervention study in academic settings. Previous analyses of the National Study of the Learning Mindset (Yeager et al., 2019) showed that in a randomized controlled trial, high school students who were given the growth mindset intervention had, on average higher GPA than did students in the control condition. Previous analyses also showed that school achievement levels moderated the intervention effect. This study further explores whether the emotion students experienced during the growth mindset intervention plays a role in the intervention effect. Specifically, using a sentence-level automated text analysis for emotional valence (i.e. sentiment analysis), students’ written reflections during the intervention are analyzed. Linear mixed models are conducted to test if valence reflected in the written texts predicted higher intervention effect (i.e. higher post-intervention GPA given pre-intervention GPA). The moderating role of school achievement levels was also examined. A 10% random sample of the data was analyzed as a pilot study for this registered report to test for feasibility and proof-of-concept. Results of the pilot data showed small, yet significant relations between emotional valence and intervention effects. The results of this study have implications on the role of emotion in the results of intervention or experimental studies, especially those that are conducted in academic settings. This study also introduces a user-friendly text-based analytic method for experimental psychologists to detect and analyze sentence-level emotional valence in an intervention or experimental study.

Self-control and self-regulated learning refer to those processes and strategies whereby individuals exert agency in facing educational demands. This study tested a structural model which predicts that self-control has direct effect on school achievement, as well as mediated by metacognitive self-regulation, academic self-efficacy, and regulatory motivational styles as the variables related to self-regulated learning. The research was carried out on a stratified random sample of 575 eighth grade students. It was shown that the effect of self-control on achievement is mediated by self-efficacy. In other words, students who have heightened selfcontrol and believe in their own ability to meet school demands will be successful in school regardless of the complexity of their learning or whether they are autonomously motivated. The implications of such a finding were considered, as well as the limitations of the research and the indications for future research.

The Stability

The smoking habits of Newton, Massachusetts, high school students attending the tenth grade were investigated in 1959 at the age of 15. In 1965 a stratified random sample of these students was again studied in order to examine change in smoking behavior and to identify characteristics which predict future smoking behavior in teenagers. Between the ages of 15 and 21, the percentage of smokers doubled among the girls and almost doubled among the boys, with 55% of the girls and 63% of the boys now smoking. The heavier smokers at age 15 smoked even more at 21. Only 12% of the 15-year-old smokers had stopped smoking, but 36% of nonsmokers had become smokers and 71% of discontinued smokers had resumed smoking, thus pointing to the stability of the smoking habit and to the instability of the discontinued smoking status among young people. Variables predicting relapse by discontinued smokers included parents who smoked, poor academic achievement at school, heavier consumption of cigarettes before discontinuing, judgment of smoking as harmless and a disbelief in the causative role of smoking in lung cancer. Students who had stopped smoking because of influence of others relapsed more readily while those who had stopped because they did not enjoy it were less likely to relapse. A powerful predictor of change from nonsmoker to smoker was the student's own anticipation of smoking. Nonsmokers were less likely to become smokers if they objected to smoking on moral or aesthetic grounds. Social class, parental smoking, and school achievement are still related to smoking at age 21, but mainly due to an effect before the age of 15. It is suggested that antismoking programs might be more effective if conducted before the age of 15.

This study was designed to investigate some of the variables that characterize students who have achieved success in science. One hundred forty-six winners of the 1983 Westinghouse Science Talent Search completed a questionnaire exploring the subjects' views on the role of the scientist in society, images of self as scientist, personal motivations for conducting scientific research, qualities admired in scientific heroes or heroines, and how often teachers discussed interactions of science and society. Chi square and ANOVA analyses were employed with each of two independent variables: gender and area of science. Female subjects reported more concern with social impacts of scientific research, less variability in their self-image as a scientist, and a tendency to attribute success to hard work and dedication rather than intelligence or creativity than did male subjects. Over all, subjects identified curiosity as the primary impetus for research and indicated a moderate amount of exposure to scientific controversy in the secondary science classroom.

Marantau is a tradition of Minangkabau society. Likewise with Galogandang society, apart from wander into a tradition of economic factors and natural conditions as well as a stimulus for people to wander Galogandang. Factors livelihood homogeneous and inadequate fulfillment of everyday life so that people Galogandang 70% Barada was overseas. Analysis in this study using the theory of rational choice. The approach used is qualitative approach with descriptive method. Informants in this study is masayarkat and strangers Galogandang. Data collection techniques, observation, interviews, and documents. Analysis of the data used in this research is the analysis of qualitative data that is interactive analysis proposed by Miles and Huberman. From the results of this study concluded that the role of migrants to the development of Nagari in Jorong Galogandang can be divided into two parts, namely, the development of physically seen an increase in development such as the construction of the Grand Mosque, mosque, TPA, bakl sources of clean water, and non-physical looks Scholarships the education of children of school achievement. Viewed wander impact on socio-economic, such as construction of houses is getting better, and people's incomes Galogandang that no longer depend on pertaniann only.Merantau merupakan suatu tradisi masyarakat Minangkabau. Demikian halnya dengan masyarakat Galogandang, selain dari merantau menjadi suatu tradisi faktor ekonomi dan keadaan alam juga sebagai pendorong bagi masyarakat Galogandang untuk merantau. Faktor mata pencaharian hidup yang bersifat homogen dan kurang mencukupi pemenuhan kebutuhan hidup sehari-hari sehingga masyarakat Galogandang 70% barada di rantau. Analisa pada penelitian ini menggunakan teori pilihan rasional. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode penelitian deskriptif. Informan pada penelitian ini adalah masyarakat dan perantau Galogandang. Teknik pengumpulan data, observasi lapangan, wawancara, dan dokumen. Analisis data yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah analisis data kualitatif  yaitu analisis  interaktif  yang dikemukakan oleh Miles dan Huberman. Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan, bahwa peran perantau terhadap pembangunan Nagari di Jorong Galogandang dapat dibagi atas dua bagian yaitu, pembangunan dari segi fisik terlihat peningkatan pembangunan seperti pembangunan Mesjid, mushala, TPA, bak sumber air bersih, dan non fisik terlihat dengan adanya beasiswa pendidikan anak-anak yang sekolah berprestasi. Dilihat dampak merantau terhadap sosial ekonomi  masyarakat seperti pembangunan rumah penduduk yang semakin bagus, dan pendapatan masyarakat Galogandang yang tidak lagi  bergantung pada pertanian saja.
