Note. Agency and valence mindsets were measured with the SMMS; the n indicates the number of participants who completed the measure. Results indicate Pearson’s correlations. Scores for agency mindset and valence mindset were calculated by taking the average of participants’ responses to five Likert-scaled items, where 1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree. Cronbach’s α was calculated for each subscale individually. SMMS = social media mindsets scale.
