New research shows that meaning in life and self-efficacy—the belief in one’s ability to succeed—are critical for well-being, regardless of s*x. Men reported higher levels of passion and self-efficacy, but both men and women were otherwise similar in grit, mindset, and emotional balance.

The findings also highlight the importance of the interaction between motivation (passion, grit, growth mindset and self-efficacy) and well-being (meaning in life, flourishing and positive emotions). Read more.

Social and emotional development is the foundation for how kids understand the world, cope with challenges, and connect with others. From naming feelings to building resilience through everyday moments, the emotional tools we give children today help shape the adults they’ll become tomorrow. Read more.
