摘要

Despite the presence of socioeconomic adversities, resilient students can beat the odds and succeed academically. Several studies have attempted to investigate the facilitators of academic resilience. However, the roles of individual and peer growth mindsets have seldom been investigated. The current study aimed to examine the extent to which individual and peer growth mindsets are associated with academic resilience across the globe. Participants included 606,191 secondary school students from 79 countries. The data were analyzed using multilevel logit regression analyses. Findings indicated that both individual and peer growth mindsets were positively associated with students’ academic resilience. Interestingly, we also found a positive interaction effect, such that students who had a growth mindset and were surrounded by peers who also had a growth mindset enjoyed the highest levels of academic resilience. The study highlights the roles of both individual and peer growth mindsets in students’ academic resilience.
