We ran correlations with the strength of the moderating role of parental support on country-level collectivism and found a positive association from .35 to .51 (see below). Parental support effects on mindset-outcomes link is notable in collective contexts. A cross-cultural food for thought.💭

Some highlights✨
1️⃣ We found that, overall, parental support increases the growth mindset predictions on achievement/persistence
2️⃣ This is true in some countries, but not in others (variations are beyond east vs west comparison)
3️⃣ Post-hoc analyses showed collectivism has a role to play in variations

2️⃣ This effect is stronger for students with higher intrinsic motivation
3️⃣ And those with higher behavioral and emotional engagement
