Research findings suggest that interventions designed to reduce in individuals the evaluation of a situation, such as a performance, as threatening promote personal well-being.
One intervention that could achieve this goal is to optimize stress perception by encouraging individuals to view stress and specific responses (e.g., increased heart rate) as beneficial. In this regard, data show that promoting a constructive approach to stress can limit threat assessment and improve performance.
For example, a synergistic mindset intervention that promotes a stress-promoting mindset and a growth mindset toward intelligence mitigates threat responses (e.g., lower vascular resistance) and promotes health and well-being (e.g., lower anxiety symptoms).
