Psychological Bulletin, 149(3-4), 229-241. doi:10.1037/bul0000384. the methodological case for the positive reading. They characterise the fork precisely: one camp aggregated effect sizes for each study before combining them and examined moderators one by one by splitting the data into small subgroups, while the other modelled the variation of effects within studies, across subgroups and outcomes, using modern multilevel metaregression. Their claim, which they themselves label exploratory, is that applying the heterogeneity-attuned methods to the sceptics' own dataset confirms a meaningful significant effect of growth mindset in focal at-risk groups.
