“…The collectivistic nature of Indian society may be an influencing factor reducing anxiety levels in females. Such differences have been noted in constructs such as grit (Datu et al, 2017; Kuruveettissery et al, 2021) [40] . However, this pilot cannot make a conclusive claim on the cause due to it being beyond the scope of this research and the slightly skewed male-female sample distribution.…”

This pilot study examined the relationship between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and precompetitive anxiety in a multiple sport sample in a non-WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic) Indian context. We hypothesized a divergent operation of variables in the Indian context, which is a contrast to Eurocentric populations represented in literature. Participants were 150 full time Indian athletes across five sports (tennis, badminton, cricket, football, basketball). Competitive state anxiety inventory-2 (CSAI-2) and Emotional intelligence scale (EIS) were administered pre sport competition using a quantitative, cross-sectional research design. Spearman's correlation analysis indicates a significant negative correlation between EI and competitive anxiety. Mann-Whitney U test revealed no statistical differences between genders in both variables across sport types. Self-confidence had a positive relationship with dimensions of EI. This pilot study holds significance in providing basic understanding of the operational dynamics of the variables in an Indian context where no prior literature exists. Results diverge from established patterns in WEIRD, Eurocentric countries. Results are inferred and their contribution of cross-cultural insight adding value to the predominantly Eurocentric literature of sport psychology is discussed using the lends of cultural sport psychology.

“…Unlike the two-dimension structure that Duckworth & Quinn (2009) presented, this study found that the concept of grit has a third dimension called as the commitment to goals. During the ongoing process of this study, we realized that another scale (Kuruveettissery, Gupta, & Rajan, 2021) was developed in India to measure grit. This three-dimensional grit scale was developed on Indian students and professionals aged between 18 and 25.…”

The concept of grit has becomea widely investigated topic in mental health and education in recent years. This study aims to develop a tool for measuring grit in high school and university students and to examine the measurement invariance of the developed scale on two different groups. A total of 586 high school students (411 female, 70%; 175 male, 30%) and 639 (437 female, 63%; 202 male, 37%) university students participated in the study. Grit Scale, Short Grit Scale, and Beck Hopelessness Scale were used as data collection tools in the study. The exploratory factor analysis results indicated that 14-item Grit Scale with three sub-dimensions explained 61.88% of the variance. The dimensions in the scale were named Perseverance, Commitment to Goals, and Consistency of Interest. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the three-dimensional structure of the Grit Scale fit the data well, with measurement invariance between the high school and university student groups. Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficients of the total score and sub-dimensions of the scale were found as .87, .85, .84, and .75, respectively. Convergent validity was evaluated by calculating the zero-order correlation between the Grit Scale and Short Grit Scale and a significantly high positive correlation was found (r= .655, p< .001).

“…Future research with longitudinal and/or intervention-based approaches could help in further specifying the nature of the link between trait-executive functioning profiles and grit. Importantly, future works should include measures of fluid intelligence (as it could influence working memory [ 73 ]) and use more complete measures of grit (to overcome the reliability issues of the short grit scale [ 74 ]). Despite this, the present study contributes to our understanding of grit and provides strong evidence for the idea that it is not necessarily linked to enhanced executive-control capabilities [ 3 , 23 , 24 ].…”

The relative role of executive control and personality traits in grit

Although grit is predictive of wellbeing, educational achievement, and success in life, it has been conceptualized as largely distinct from cognitive ability. The present study investigated the link between grit and executive functions since regulation abilities might underlie the expression of grit. A hundred thirty-four people were administered personality questionnaires (grit, impulsiveness, and mindfulness) and four experimental tasks tapping into Miyake’s and Braver’s models of executive functioning (including measures of flexibility, inhibition, working memory, and control mode dimensions). Multivariate analyses showed that two composite scores (trait and executive functioning) were reliably predictive of grit, although it was the trait composite (characterized by low impulsivity and high mindfulness) that explained more variance. Importantly, gritty participants did not demonstrate enhanced executive functioning. Instead, they exhibited a different pattern of performance that might be reflecting a cautious profile of control, characterized by paying attention to all available information, less reliance on previous contextual cues but sensitive to conflicting information of the current context. These findings converge with Duckworth’s idea that high grit people do not necessarily have a greater cognitive capacity. Rather, they use it in a different way.
