Exploring the Influence of Foreign Language Growth Mindset on College English Writing Feedback Seeking Behavior:A Moderated Mediation Model
From the perspective of positive psychology,the current study aims to explore the path from foreign language growth mindset to L2 writing feedback seeking behavior,and test if writing self-efficacy could mediate this path and if gender and grade are moderators.Structural equation model analysis finds that(1)foreign language growth mindset directly influences feedback monitor but not feedback inquiry;(2)writing self-efficacy partially mediates the path between growth mindset and feedback monitor but fully mediates the path between growth mindset and feedback inquiry;(3)gender moderates the path from writing self-efficacy to both feedback monitor and feedback inquiry;(4)grade moderates the relation between self-efficacy and feedback inquiry.It is hoped that the current study facilitates understanding of the individual differences and factors influencing L2 writing feedback seeking behaviors,and it helps to optimize the effect of teacher feedback.
