Rethinking stress: The role of mindsets in determining the stress response.
Abstract
This article describes 3 studies that explore the role of mindsets in the context of stress. In Study 1, we present data supporting the reliability and validity of an 8-item instrument, the Stress Mindset Measure (SMM), designed to assess the extent to which an individual believes that the effects of stress are either enhancing or debilitating. In Study 2, we demonstrate that stress mindsets can be altered by watching short, multimedia film clips presenting factual information biased toward defining the nature of stress in 1 of 2 ways (stress-is-enhancing vs. stress-is-debilitating). In Study 3, we demonstrate the effect of stress mindset on physiological and behavioral outcomes, showing that a stress-is-enhancing mindset is associated with moderate cortisol reactivity and high desire for feedback under stress. Together, these 3 studies suggest that stress mindset is a distinct and meaningful variable in determining the stress response.

“The 3C theory is grounded in previous theories of stress, such as the Transactional Theory (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984), Stress Mindset Theory (Crum et al., 2013), and the Prosocial Classroom Model (Jennings & Greenberg, 2009).”

“These findings are consistent with previous research indicating that SIE mindset predicted positive affect, decreased depressive symptoms, and lower negative feelings (perceived helplessness when confronting stress and negative emotions) (Crum et al., 2013; Kilby and Sherman, 2016; Karampas et al., 2020).”

“These findings are in line with previous research indicating that SIE mindset is positively correlated with increased life satisfaction, and positive ways of perceiving stress (self-efficacy when confronting stress) (Crum et al., 2013; Karampas et al., 2020).”

“Furthermore, research suggests that stress mindset is related to perceived health and life satisfaction over and above the effects of amounts of stress, stress appraisals, and coping strategies (Crum et al., 2013).”

“There is mounting evidence that mindset influences not only intelligence (Dweck, 2008) and aging (Levy and Myers, 2004), but also the stress response (Crum et al., 2013).”

“Moreover, “stress-is-enhancing” (SIEM) and “stress-is-debilitating” (SIDM) mindsets can have a different impact on physiological and behavioral responses to stress (Crum et al., 2013).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
