“…As discussed, grit has been widely touted as an important predictor of positive academic outcomes (such as grade point average, retention, and intention to persist in college) across multiple academic domains (Credé et al, 2017;Eskreis-Winkler et al, 2014;Eskreis-Winkler et al, 2016;Muenks et al, 2017Muenks et al, , 2018. However, the current results join more recent contributions from the grit literature in suggesting that specific outcomes might be better predicted by more domain-specific perseverance constructs (e.g., Cormier et al, 2019;Muenks et al, 2018;Schmidt et al, 2019;Usher et al, 2019). More critically, the present findings-especially the indirect association between the perseverance facet of grit and behavioral persistence in math via math-specific perseverance-complement the recent findings of Usher et al (2019) by suggesting that the ability of domain-general perseverance to predict narrow or specific outcomes may run through more proximal domainspecific factors.…”
