Abstract
Merrick and Strauss (2016) extended Dweck’s (2006) theory of mindsets to beliefs about anxiety among college students. We applied their methods to a diverse sample of high school students and determined that anxiety mindsets can be reliably measured and that a brief online intervention can foster transient changes to mindset.
