Mixed methods analysis reveals reduced anxiety and enhanced mindsets in adolescents, suggesting art's role in psychological support.
This study examines the effectiveness of an art activity-based growth mindset program in reducing anxiety and fostering adaptive mindsets among adolescents. Using a mixed methods quasi-experimental design with 120 participants aged 13–16, quantitative results (ANCOVA) showed significant improvements in mindset development and reduced anxiety in the intervention group. Qualitative findings highlighted enhanced self-efficacy, reframing challenges as opportunities, and emotional release through artistic expression. The integrated results indicate that art supports both cognitive restructuring and emotional regulation, confirming its potential as a school-based psychological intervention.
