Prior research shows that when parents monitor, check, and assist in completing homework without an invitation, their children's motivation and academic achievement often decline. We propose that intrusive support from parents might also send the message that children are incompetent, especially if they believe their intelligence is fixed. We tested whether children's mindsets moderate the negative link between parents' intrusive homework support and achievement among first- and second-grade students followed for one academic year (Study 1, = 563) and middle and high school students for two academic years (Study 2, = 1,613). The samples were obtained from large urban areas in the United States. In both studies, intrusive homework support more strongly predicted a decrease in achievement over time for children with a fixed mindset. These findings suggest that the belief that intellectual ability cannot be changed may exacerbate the detrimental effects of uninvited help on academic work.

先前的研究表明，当父母在没有收到邀请的情况下监督、检查和帮助孩子完成家庭作业时，他们的学习动力和学术成就往往会下降。我们提出，父母过度的支持也可能传达出孩子能力不足的信息，尤其是如果他们认为自己的智力是固定不变的。我们测试了孩子的思维模式是否会缓和父母过度介入孩子家庭作业与一学年（研究 1，n = 563）和两年学术期（研究 2，n = 1,613）的小学生和中学生的学业成绩之间的负向关联。这两个研究的样本均来自美国的大城市。在这两项研究中，对于具有固定思维模式的孩子来说，过度的家庭作业支持与随着时间推移学习成绩下降之间的关联更强。这些发现表明，认为智力无法改变的信念可能会加剧未经邀请的帮助对学业的不利影响。
