“…Another finding directly from the model in this study is that academic grit significantly predicts school satisfaction. Studies on immigrant students (Banse and Palacios, 2018;O'Neal et al, 2016) as well as students without immigrant experience (Lan and Moscardino, 2019;Okur et al, 2023;Peker and Cengiz, 2023) have found similar results on this issue. Focusing on the level of students' academic grit in the school environment is considered important in order to increase their efforts in challenging processes and prepare them for this process (Clark and Malecki, 2019).…”

“…Although the concept of grit has been used in a variety of fields, it has been increasingly addressed in school research in recent years (Prince, 2015). Research indicates a positive relationship between high levels of academic grit and variables such as school satisfaction (Peker & Cengiz, 2023), academic achievement (Neroni et al, 2022), and school attachment (Chung et al, 2020). In addition, studies show that academic grit differs from intellectual potential in its relationship with academic achievement (Duckworth & Quinn, 2009).…”

On February 6, 2023, two catastrophic earthquakes hit Turkey on the same day, which was called the biggest disaster of the last century. Following this disaster, some students living in 10 provinces affected by the earthquakes decided to leave their hometowns and continue their education in different cities. In recent years, the concepts of school belonging and school satisfaction have gained prominence in the relevant literature. However, little is known about the mechanisms that mediate the relationship between school satisfaction and school belonging. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effects of academic grit and subjective vitality on the relationship between students' school belonging and school satisfaction. The study participants consisted of middle school students who moved to another city after the earthquakes and started attending different schools in those cities. A total of 550 students participated in the study, consisting of 312 girls and 238 boys. The age of the participating students ranged from 10 to 15 years (M=12.43, SD=1.07). In the current study, the data collection instruments included a personal information form developed by the researcher, the School Belongingness Scale, the Comprehensive School Satisfaction Scale for Children, the Academic Grit Scale, and the Subjective Vitality Scale. The results of the study indicate that academic grit and subjective vitality play a significant mediating role in the relationship between school belonging and school satisfaction. In addition, all path coefficients in the current study are significantly positive. Based on the results of the study, some suggestions are offered to increase school satisfaction among middle school students.

“…As discussed above, being left behind and consequential perceived discrimination both could thwart the psychological needs necessary for the development of grit, and emerging empirical work has suggested that grit could mediate the effect of multiple social or psychological factors on mental or academic outcomes (Kim et al, 2021;Lan, 2019;Lee & Ha, 2023;Peker & Cengiz, 2023). Therefore, whether grit mediates instead of moderating the effect of being left behind and perceived discrimination affecting mental health demands further investigation.…”

“…Importantly, studies have indicated that grit is not an immutable trait but is malleable and the cultivation of grit is sensitive to environment factors experienced by individuals (Adams & Khojasteh, 2018;Hejazi & Sadoughi, 2023;Peker & Cengiz, 2023;Santana-Monagas & Núñez, 2022;Song et al, 2023). Self-determination theory (SDT) provides a theoretical framework for understanding the environmental factors influencing grit.…”

Although perceived discrimination has been found to diminish self‐esteem, the mechanism of such effect and potential protective factors demands further study. Grit has been suggested to moderate the effect of risk factors affecting Chinese left‐behind children, but few studies have considered that being left behind might diminish the family and social conditions needed for nurturing grit, and therefore grit might mediate the effect of being left behind and perceived discrimination upon self‐esteem. With the questionnaire data collected from 974 Chinese rural children among whom 517 were left‐behind children, the present study shows that perseverance of effort mediates the effect of being left behind upon self‐esteem. Moreover, within the subsample of left‐behind children, perceived discrimination was found to mediate the effect of time length of being left behind on self‐esteem, while a chain mediation effect was found where perceived discrimination and consistency of interest mediated the effect of the time length of being left behind on self‐esteem. Findings suggest that for left‐behind children, while the adverse social conditions reflected by perceived discrimination affects self‐esteem by diminishing consistency of interest, the absence of adequate parental regulation more directly affects perseverance of effort and therefore affects self‐esteem. Further research directions about practices and interventions targeting at protecting self‐esteem through fostering grit are discussed.

This study investigated to what extent career decision-making difficulties (CDMD) impact students’ satisfaction with life and the potential mediating and moderating role of career choice support in this relation among 1094 grade 12 students in Ontario, Canada. Findings supported the negative impact of CDMD on students’ life satisfaction. Surprisingly, unlike counselors’ support, only teacher and parental support were significant drivers of students’ life satisfaction, with parental support exhibiting a solid effect. Furthermore, although support from each stakeholder partially mediated between CDMD and life satisfaction, parental support was identified as the strongest in reducing the negative impact of difficulties on students’ life satisfaction. Moderation effects were not supported.
