Children aged 11 to 18 took part in the year-long research, which was carried out during 2014 and 2015 in conjunction with four UK independent and state schools in the Wellington College Teaching Schools Alliance.
11歲至18歲的孩子參加了這項時長為一年的研究，在2014~2015年期間與惠靈頓學(xué)院教學(xué)學(xué)校聯(lián)盟的四所英國獨立學(xué)校和公立學(xué)校聯(lián)合開展的。

Carl Hendrick, head of research at Wellington College, said it was "good news" for students who think need to "kill themselves" in order to achieve good grades.
惠靈頓學(xué)院的研究負(fù)責(zé)人卡爾·亨德里克說，這對那些認(rèn)為好成績需要“頭懸梁，錐刺股”的學(xué)生來說，是個好消息。

The study also found for the first time a link between high-achieving students and helpfulness.
這項研究還首次發(fā)現(xiàn)成績好的學(xué)生和樂于助人之間的聯(lián)系。

The research revealed that those pupils who see themselves as having potential rather than having fixed abilities are more inclined to help their peers.
研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，那些認(rèn)為自己有更多潛力可發(fā)掘的孩子更愿意幫助同伴。

Having a growth mindset, which children can also be taught, appears to have more impact on the others around them than previously realised, the research team said.
研究小組說，擁有成長心態(tài)對周圍人的影響比之前所知的更大，而學(xué)生們也可以通過學(xué)習(xí)來獲得這種心態(tài)。

The academics said: "A teenager who thinks in this way is more likely to be helpful and care more deeply about others. This may be because they think 'if I feel I can develop, I feel others can', which makes them more understanding and sympathetic."
專業(yè)學(xué)者說：“有這種思考方式的青少年更可能提供幫助，更深切關(guān)心他人。也許這是因為他們認(rèn)為“如果我覺得我可以進(jìn)一步發(fā)展的話，其他人也能”，這讓他們更加能理解他人并富有同情心。
