Mindset, Anxiety, and Psychological Well-Being of Senior High School STEM Students
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2022, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to discover the relationship among the mindset, anxiety, and the psychological well-being of senior high school STEM students. The University of Perpetual Help System -; Laguna was included in the study as the source of the respondents. The student survey measured the student's mindset through the Mindset Quiz, the student's level of anxiety through the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) scale, and several items related to student demographics, such as: grade level, gender, and age. 312 senior high school STEM students participated in this study from the aforementioned university. Findings in this study showed that the respondents predominantly held a growth mindset with fixed ideas which promotes learning goals, allows for healthier responses to challenges and failures, and promotes resilience, effort, and hard work. Given the small sample size, there was insufficient evidence to support that a students' mindset is a determinant of student anxiety. However, a significant correlation (r = .50, p < .01) was found between the respondents' mindset and their psychological well-being. There was also insufficient evidence to support that a students' anxiety is a determinant of students' psychological well-being. It is recommended that schools provide opportunities for parents and guardians to be educated about growth mindset in general. Additionally, strategies and resources should be given to parents and school administrators to help aid in developing a growth mindset and high psychological well-being among their children. It is also recommended that further research be conducted with a larger sample size to better assess whether there is a relationship between mindset and anxiety, and anxiety and psychological well-being.
