This research study explored the relationship between test anxiety and growth mindset for fifth grade elementary students in a midwestern, urban district. Researchers compared the levels of test anxiety and growth mindset for elementary students using the "Implicit Theory of Intelligence Scale" (ITIS) and the "Children's Test Anxiety Scale" (CTAS). The results were analyzed using a Pearson correlation and t-test to determine if there was a relationship between test anxiety and growth mindset. The results of the study indicate that there is a significant relationship between these two variables (r=0.364; p=0.029). No significant difference was detected between the male and female participants of the study. Future studies may continue to examine the relationship between these two variables as well as the impact that growth mindset interventions could have on student performance in diverse settings.
