Abstract

Objective: The effectiveness of Fredrickson’ s positive thinking and Dweck’ s mindset program was examined on the Psychological capital of gifted ninth-grade girls with Test anxiety in Isfahan, Iran. Method: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design and two control groups. The population consisted all 450 gifted female students in the ninth-grade in Isfahan. After screening the students using the Test anxiety Inventory (TAI), a sample of 45 students who obtained higher scores was selected and then randomly divided into the experimental group (n=15) for Fredrickson’ s positive thinking, the experimental group (n=15) for Dweck’ s mindset program, and two control groups (n=15 each). Each experimental group received eight sessions of intervention, while no intervention was offered to the control groups. All participants completed Luthans’ Psychological capital Questionnaire on pre-/posttest. Data were analyzed using MANCOVA in SPSS-22. Results: There was a significant difference between Fredrickson’ s positive thinking group and Dweck’ s mindset program group with the control groups in terms of self-efficacy, resiliency, and optimism, with the two treatments proving effective, and the effects of the trainings on resilience and optimism were maintained on the six-month follow-up. Moreover, the results indicated the effectiveness of Dweck’ s mindset program on hopefulness on posttest and follow-up, compared to the Fredrickson program and the control groups, and this effect persisted on the follow-up. Conclusion: Using Dweck’ s mindset program and Fredrickson’ s positive thinking, we can influence the Psychological capital of Gifted students with Test anxiety, which can in turn increase their efficacy and academic achievement.
