Studies have begun to explore its mechanisms of influence on students' mental health and academic achievement. A randomized controlled trial was conducted in a middle school in China. Two classes were randomly assigned to the intervention group and received a specially designed \u201cStress Mindset\u201d course based on the B.E.S.T. principle, whereas the remaining two classes served as the control group. A total of 155 students participated, including 78 in the intervention group. The average age of participants was 12.25\u2009years, with 49.70% females. Bayesian Causal Forest (BCF) analysis showed that, compared to the control group, the intervention group exhibited a 0.46 standard deviation increase in stress\u2010is\u2010enhancing mindset (95% confidence interval [CI]\u2009=\u2009[.18, .71]). No significant improvements were observed for other variables. A mediation model supported the intervention mechanism: Group assignment (independent variable) predicted changes in academic motivation through the change in stress\u2010is\u2010enhancing mindset (\n                    <jats:italic>B<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.12, SE\u2009=\u2009.05, and 95% CI [.03, .25]). Process evaluation and qualitative feedback from researchers indicated high satisfaction and acceptability of the intervention. The stress mindset intervention effectively promoted a shift in students' perception of stress as enhancing, offering a novel paradigm for future intervention research. The findings offer a novel paradigm for future intervention research.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/aphw.70188","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,4]],"date-time":"2026-07-04T05:42:03Z","timestamp":1783143723000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The effect of a stress mindset intervention on academic motivation among junior high school students"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Yijun","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, School of Humanities and Social Sciences Beijing Forestry University  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yao","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, School of Humanities and Social Sciences Beijing Forestry University  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Siyun","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, School of Humanities and Social Sciences Beijing Forestry University  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yueru","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, School of Humanities and Social Sciences Beijing Forestry University  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiuru","family":"Xiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xicheng Experimental School to The Second High School Attached to Beijing Normal University  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8517-1308","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yidi","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, School of Humanities and Social Sciences Beijing Forestry University  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/10318-005"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10464-009-9231-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0956797612462222"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","first-page":"225","article-title":"Hua yali wei dongli: Jiyu yiyi jiangou de diqiangdu zaixian ganyu [Transforming stress into motivation: A low\u2010intensity, meaning\u2010making online intervention]","volume":"49","author":"Chen Y.","year":"2026","journal-title":"Xinli Kexue (Journal of Psychological Science)"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.childyouth.2017.06.015"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","first-page":"31","volume-title":"The social psychology of health","author":"Cohen S.","year":"1988"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/2136404"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","volume-title":"Developmental psychology: Childhood and adolescence","author":"Collins W.
