Strengthening resources through identity-reframing interventions: empowerment for students with low socioeconomic status and with ADHD symptoms by Julius Möller, Stefan Reiss, Eva Jonas

“…Students from low SES or with ADHD symptoms might lack this sense of belonging due to their different background or their additional needs.MethodsBased on the social cure approach, we investigate two identity-reframing interventions (N = 392) that foster social belonging (Study 1) and relatedness need satisfaction (Study 2) and support academic engagement through reframing deficit narratives.ResultsIn Study 1, we found that the identity-reframing intervention successfully buffers the negative effect of low SES on social belonging, which in turn is linked to a higher academic self-concept and reduced fear of errors. …”
