“… 23 Another study conducted in Mexico among 9th and 12th-grade children revealed that the measured consistency of interest increases with relative age (age with respect to classmates) and drops to a lesser amount with absolute age (age at measurement), whereas the measured perseverance of effort increases with absolute age but not with relative age. 24 The different findings of various studies may be due to the varied age group of study participants. The finding of negative relation with age can be explained by the fact that younger students may feel more stable in their decisions and may feel consistency of their goals for the time being.…”

Background: Guts, Resilience, Integrity, and Tenacity (GRIT) is an optimistic character that mixes passion and dedication. It is a driver of achievement and success, independent of and beyond what intelligence and talent contribute. The study aimed to assess GRIT and factors influencing it among mid-adolescent school students (13–18 years) in the Perambalur district, Tamilnadu, India. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among mid-adolescent school students. We used a self-reported questionnaire to collect the data on sociodemographic characteristics and parents’ details and the standard eight-item GRIT questions. Analysis was done with the total and subscale scores. Results: Among the 1663 participants, 966 (58.1%) were males. The mean (SD) age was 15.6 (1.19) years. The mean GRIT score was 26.65 (4.12). Most students (755) showed medium (45.4%) GRIT scores. The age factor had a weak negative correlation with GRIT ( r = −0.052, p = 0.033) and females had higher scores ( t = 9.13, p = 0.002). Perseverance of effort was significantly more in those from a rural background ( t = 1.9, p = 0.012), while consistency of interest was more in those from urban background ( t = 0.63, p = 0.03). Conclusion: Most students had average or medium GRIT scores, with higher GRIT among females. The concept of GRIT should be properly addressed among children during their school years in order to inspire them to dream with passion and perseverance.

“…The scale contained a total of 8 questions and included two dimensions of grit, namely consistency of interest and perseverance of effort, which had good internal consistency and correlation. The Grit-S had been shown to have satisfactory psychometric properties, including internal reliability, test-retest reliability, and convergent and discriminant validity [15].…”

The proportion of overweight or obese people in China was increasing year by year, and the objective demand for weight loss was stronger and stronger. Physical exercise was one of the simplest and most important ways to lose weight, but there were still objective reasons such as the inability to adhere to exercise, which made the effect of physical exercise on weight management not good. Previous studies had shown that psychological factors such as grit and motivation were related to individuals’ exercise behavior. However, the effect of additional extrinsic motivation on exercise behaviors remained unknown. Here, a new "exercise-incentive" model through behavioral experiments was conducted. The model showed that grit and motivation had an obvious relationship with individuals’ exercise behavior. Extrinsic motivation could significantly change individuals’ exercise behavior, and different psychological factors were associated with different exercise patterns. Meanwhile, we established the relationship among psychological factors, exercise patterns, and lifestyle factors, and finally identified effort, the sub-dimension of grit, as the core psychological factor for weight management. Our study, through behavioral experiments, provided a psychological perspective on weight management and potential targets for psychological interventions.

“…A number of studies (Duckworth et al, 2007;Peña and Duckworth, 2018;Bliss and Jacobson, 2020) demonstrate that there is a significant relationship between age and grit. Other studies do not find a correlation between the two (Rhodes and Giovannetti, 2021). According to Duckworth and her colleagues, grit is not a fixed trait; rather, it shifts and develops over the course of one's life, and it may become more robust as a person ages due to the fact that, in general, older people value their goals and the world around them more than younger people do.…”

This article investigates the effects of stroke on students’ L2-grit levels in an EFL context in Northern Iraq. A model was created to find how various components such as verbal, non-verbal, valuing, and activities that determine stroke levels affect students’ grit. This study adopted the L2- Grit scale and a language domain-specific grit scale to measure the learners’ L2-grit levels. Also, the Students’ Stroke Scale (SSS) was used to measure the participants’ stroke levels. The study’s sample consisted of 199 participants from various academic levels, undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate at several Northern Iraq universities. The results reveal a positive and statistically significant association between the score on the L2-Grit scale and the score on the Stroke scale; more specifically, as the scores on the L2-grit scale rise, so do the scores on the Stroke scale. The mean of low stroke is lower than the means of medium stroke and high stroke indicating that as people’s stroke levels grow, so does their L2-grit status. The regression coefficients estimated within the framework of the regression model structured with the logit, the link function, are the same in each category of the dependent variable, satisfying the parallel curves assumption. The overall results show that positive stroke helps learners’ L2-grit levels to arise and lead to a better learning process.
