The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded California State University, East Bay Foundation, Inc. $274,271 on October 1, 2026, to conduct a collaborative research project examining how psychosocial interventions improve student wellbeing and performance in introductory statistics courses under the STEM Education program. The project, conducted in partnership with California State University, Long Beach, delivers a "Kind Statistics Acts" intervention designed to address student mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, and negative self-affect in early statistics courses. Students receive instruction on prosocial behaviors and their scientific basis, then develop and engage in kind acts directed toward peers in their statistics courses. The study compares this intervention against two control conditions and collects data through pre-post surveys measuring statistics knowledge and mental health constructs, student course outcomes, and engagement metrics in kind acts. An external evaluator provides formative and summative assessment throughout. The project addresses three primary research questions: whether the kind acts intervention improves student wellbeing and statistics performance; whether wellbeing improvements mediate the intervention-to-performance relationship; and whether statistics performance improvement is mediated through general wellbeing and situational wellbeing mechanisms. Work is performed in Hayward, California with a period of performance extending from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029. The assistance type is a Project Grant.
