“…One is the construct’s novelty, something that leads researchers to explore its differences from other more classical constructs such as self-efficacy, self-control, and productiveness (Duckworth et al, 2019; Ponnock et al, 2020; Schmidt et al, 2018; Schmidt, Lechner, et al, 2020).

More specifically, it is the perseverance of effort subdimension which has demonstrated the strongest relationships with various variables.…”
