Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

138
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

Metacognition01:26

Metacognition

260
Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

14.8K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques VI

59
Adopting a healthier lifestyle often requires overcoming significant challenges, but leveraging psychological, social, and cultural resources can facilitate meaningful change. Effective self-change hinges on understanding and applying key tools such as motivation and goal setting, which help sustain efforts toward long-term health benefits.
Motivation and Self-Determination
Motivation, the driving force behind behavior, plays a pivotal role at every stage of the change process. The research...

The Scientific Method02:40

The Scientific Method

60.6K
Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.

Behavioral Genetics and Its Designs01:23

Behavioral Genetics and Its Designs

476
Behavior genetics explores how genetic inheritance influences human behavior. It focuses on how genes, passed from parents to offspring, contribute to the development of behavioral traits and tendencies. This branch of genetics seeks to understand the complex interplay between inherited genetic factors and environmental influences in shaping our behaviors.
The primary methodologies used in behavior genetics include family studies, twin studies, and adoption studies, each providing unique...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • STEM Education Research
  • Intervention Science

Background:

  • Mindset interventions show promise for increasing diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
  • Customizing interventions to specific courses is crucial but lacks a standardized protocol.
  • Previous research highlights the need for tailored approaches to address diverse student needs in STEM.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and test a protocol for creating customized, peer-modeled mindset interventions.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a customized intervention in Introductory Biology I.
  • To examine the intervention's impact on student attributions, study habits, belonging, performance, and persistence.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a protocol for customized "peer-modeled" mindset interventions using videotaped advice from former students.
  • Created an intervention for Introductory Biology I based on this protocol.
  • Conducted a randomized controlled trial with 917 undergraduate students.

Main Results:

  • The intervention successfully shifted students' attributions for academic struggle away from innate ability towards improved study strategies.
  • Students receiving the intervention showed enhanced study approaches and a greater sense of belonging in the course.
  • Promising effects on performance and persistence were observed, especially for first-generation and underrepresented minority students.

Conclusions:

  • A protocol for developing customized, peer-modeled mindset interventions is effective in educational settings.
  • This intervention approach shows potential for improving student outcomes and promoting diversity in STEM fields.
  • Tailored mindset interventions can significantly benefit underrepresented student populations in higher education.
