Causal Inference

Synergistic Mindset Study

This dataset comes from study 6 in "Yeager et al (2022)", a randomized controlled trial of a light-touch synergistic mindsets intervention.

The data included in this repository is a subset of the original data, which can be found here. We have removed all observations with missing values and restricted to the following features:

• testanxiety: A measure of the student's test anxiety
• sex: 1 if M, 0 if F
• stressmindset_baseline: Pre-treatment stress mindset; lower values indicate positive stress-can-be-enhancing mindsets
• fixedmindset_baseline: Pre-treatment growth/fixed mindset; lower values indicate positive growth mindsets
• pss_impute: A measure of perceived social stress at baseline
• fgen_moth: 1 if the student is a first-generation college student on their mother's side
• fgen_fath: 1 if the student is a first-generation college student on their father's side
• ses: A measure of socioeconomic status

The outcome (anxiety) is a measure of anxiety (GAD-7) and the exposure (treatment) is a binary indicator of whether the mindset intervention was administered.
