The Big-Fish-Little-Pond effect on mathematics students' intelligence mindset in selective and non-selective schools
2025
Overview
This study investigated the Big-Fish-Little-Pond Effect (BFLPE) on the intelligence mindset of mathematics students in selective and non-selective schools. The BFLPE framework posits that in highly competitive academic environments, students' self-concept may decline when surrounded by equally or more competent peers.The sample consisted of 362 upper secondary students (43.6% girls, 56.4% boys) from selective schools and non-selective schools . Data were collected using a mindset scale and analyzed with Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) to account for the nested structure of the data. The results showed that students in non-selective schools exhibited higher growth mindset scores compared to those in selective schools. These findings support the BFLPE, suggesting that selective schools may foster fixed mindsets due to their competitive environments. This research contributes to educational psychology by extending the BFLPE to a new cultural context where familial support is prominent and applying it to a different psychological construct-mindset theory.
