“…Masteryoriented goal involvement, support for autonomous motivational regulation, and incremental implicit theories are hypothesized to be high-quality motivational bases within their theoretical umbrella (AGT, SDT, and implicit theories, respectively). In experimental studies, these high-quality motives attenuated cortisol secretion in social-evaluative learning tasks compared with lowquality motivational foundations (Breske et al, 2017;Calvete et al, 2019;Hogue et al, 2013Hogue et al, , 2017Reeve & Tseng, 2011;Yeager et al, 2016). In most of these studies, the effect sizes were large, the risk of bias was relatively low, and the broad findings were supported in a preregistered study with excellent methodological rigor (Yeager et al, 2016, Study 2).…”

Multidimensional motivational theories postulate that the type of motivation is as important as the quantity of motivation, with implications for human functioning and well-being. An extensive amount of research has explored how constructs contained within these theories relate to the activation of the endocrine system. However, research is fragmented across several theories, and determining the current state of the science is complicated. In line with contemporary trends for theoretical integration, this systematic review aims to evaluate the association between multidimensional motivational constructs and endocrine-related responses to determine which theories are commonly used and what inferences can be made. Forty-one studies were identified incorporating five distinct motivation theories and multiple endocrine-related responses. There was evidence across several theories that high-quality motivation attenuated the cortisol response in evaluative environments. There was also evidence that motivational needs for power and affiliation were associated with lower and higher levels of salivary immunoglobulin A, respectively. The need for power may play a role in increasing testosterone when winning a contest; however, this evidence was not conclusive. Overall, this review can shape the future integration of motivational theories by characterizing the nature of physiological responses to motivational processes and examining the implications for well-being.

“…The total sample was 1329 adolescents from 33 classrooms. A subsample of 535 adolescents participated in a previous study to assess the effectiveness of the ITPI in bullying and cyberbullying behavior [37]. The total sample was used to test the hypotheses of the current study.…”

“…The key elements of the ITPI were as follows: (a) students have an active role to facilitate the deeper processing of the message; (b) the intervention is not presented to the students to change their behavior so that the students do not feel manipulated, and this reduces their resistance to the intervention; and (c) the intervention has long-term effects due to the recursive processes that influence the effects that accumulate over time. The ITPI has been shown to reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression among adolescents (for example, [35,37–39]) and bullying behavior [35,40]. The results obtained show that their effectiveness is moderated by the level of development of adolescents.…”

Effects of an incremental theory of personality intervention on the reciprocity between bullying and cyberbullying victimization and perpetration in adolescents

The incremental theory of personality interventions (ITPI) teaches adolescents that people can change. Researchers have found that these interventions can reduce the perpetration of bullying and cyberbullying. Moreover, there is reciprocity between perpetrating bullying behaviors and being a victim of them. The objective of this study was to examine whether the ITPI reduces the reciprocity between victimization and perpetration of bullying and cyberbullying. A sample of 858 high school students (52% boys) aged 12 to 17 at pretest (M = 14.56, SD = 0.97) participated in a double-blind randomized controlled trial (452 participants were assigned to the experimental condition and 406 to the control condition). Measures of bullying and cyberbullying were taken at baseline, six-month, and 12-month follow-ups. The results indicated that victimization was a strong predictor of perpetration for bullying and cyberbullying over time. Perpetration was not a predictor of victimization. Consistently, for both forms of aggressive behavior, the intervention reduced the intensity of the association between victimization and perpetration. This effect was not moderated by the age or sex of the participants. Finally, the effectiveness of the ITPI was moderated by age. Specifically, among the youngest (< 14.48 years), those who received the ITPI showed a slight tendency to reduce aggressive behavior that contrasted with the growing trend in the control group. Among the oldest participants (> 14.48), the trajectories were similar in the two groups. Our findings show that influencing adolescents’ reactions to peer aggression victimization is one of the mechanisms that could explain the beneficial effects of the ITPI and other preventive interventions.

“…Many of these interventions have shown impressive results because they are frequently short-term (often single sessions of one hour) and produce lasting changes in behavior. Thus, many wise interventions have been shown to improve academic performance (Brisson et al, 2017), social integration of ethnic minority youth (Brannon & Walton, 2013), and reduce depression (Miu & Yeager, 2015) and aggressive behavior (Calvete, Fernández-Gonzalez, et al, 2019;Fernández-González et al, 2020) .…”

“…Several studies found that the ITP intervention reduces internalizing symptoms, such as anxiety and depression (e.g., Calvete, Fernández-Gonzalez, et al, 2019;Miu & Yeager, 2015;Schleider & Weisz, 2018). Furthermore, many studies found that it can reduce aggressive behaviors (Yeager et al 2013), such as cyberbullying (Calvete, Fernández-Gonzalez, et al, 2019) and cyberdating abuse ARTICLE IN PRESS (Fernández-Gonzalez et al, 2020) given the limited results of existing programs in achieving behavioral changes.…”
