Abstract in brief

  • The research explored whether challenging teenagers' negative stereotypes about teens being irresponsible can promote more positive and constructive behavior among youth.
  • In two studies with middle school students, those who participated in an intervention that corrected stereotypes showed increased academic engagement, better performance on tasks, and reduced risky behavior compared to those who did not.
  • The findings suggest that changing youths' perceptions about teens being responsible can help foster their academic and social development, laying a foundation for positive growth during adolescence.]
