Notes: n = 5,610. Panel A reports raw Pearson product-moment correlations from a sample that includes all fourth-and fifth-grade students of general elementary school teachers with complete outcome data. Panel B reports these same correlations adjusted for attenuation bias due to measurement error following Spearman (1904). All correlations in Panel A are statistically significant at the p < 0.01 level except for the correlation between Growth mindset and Grit: Perseverance, which is statistically significant at the p < 0.05 level.
