Behaviour & psychologyAdult Non-Cognitive Personality Trait MalleabilitySoft skills training produced a statistically significant increase in extraversion of 0.164 standard deviations (p < 0.05) in the experimental sample, as well as a 0.20 standard deviation increase in extraversion and grit (p < 0.05) in the propensity score-matched sample, with zero impact on placebo cognitive tests (arithmetic and digit span recall).RCTEducationClassroom Grit CurriculumTreated students scored 0.28 standard deviations higher in standardized math tests (p = 0.008) and 0.13 standard deviations higher in standardized Turkish tests (p = 0.027) at follow-up, while self-reported belief in skill malleability and perseverance both increased by approximately 0.30 standard deviations (p < 0.01).RCTBehaviour & psychologyConfidence-Independent Grit EnhancementTreatment produced zero statistically significant impact on self-confidence factors in Sample A (treatment effect = -0.010, p > 0.10) and Sample B (treatment effect = -0.104, p > 0.10), despite significantly increasing malleability beliefs (+0.36 to +0.38 SD, p < 0.01) and perseverance (+0.30 to +0.37 SD, p < 0.01).RCT
