Growth Mindset (GMS)
“Some people assume that a person is born smart, average, or dumb. But research shows that the brain is more like a muscle - it gets stronger when you exercise it.” (Dweck, 2008)

“Almost all freshmen at IWU and other schools worry about fitting in and being accepted by other students. So this is a common concern.” (adapted from Walton & Cohen, 2011)

mSuccess 2015 Findings
• First semester GPA was positively correlated with
– engagement with app-delivered GMS material (r = .25, p < .05)
– engagement with SB material (r = .32, p < .01)
– overall app use (r = .30, p < .01).
• Stronger correlations between app engagement and GPA (r =.47, p< .05) for 23 minority students.
• No difference in retention rates for students who received intervention vs. those who did not

Discussion
• Mobile GMS+ SB intervention showed promise
• Greater benefit for minority students- similar to previous findings (mSuccess, 2015; Walton & Cohen, 2011)
• Benefits of mobile interventions
– Cost-effective
– Scalable
– Easily tailored
– Allow EMA

Discussion
• Relatively low engagement with GMS + SB content appeared impactful
• Implementation strategies are critical for engagement
– Email invitations were less successful, in-person invitations linked to FYE had higher participation
– Need more research on factors related to mobile engagement
