Abstract

The present pilot study evaluated the effectiveness of a stress mindset intervention designed to teach college students how to develop a stress-as-enhancing mindset. Although students reported a more stress-as-enhancing mindset 3 weeks post-intervention, this change was comparable across intervention and control conditions. Future research should rule out a maturational effect.
