“…In contrast to the two-factor structure, Kim and Lee (2015) found evidence for a three-factor model. Within the South Korean context, the persistence-of-effort subscale produced two latent factors: persistence of effort and industriousness.…”

“…Although previous studies found the Grit-O to be a reliable measurement instrument (Duckworth et al, 2007;Kim and Lee, 2015), the level of internal consistency varied significantly across samples. Studies using a two-factor model for the Grit-O reported acceptable Cronbach's alpha values for the overall scale (α = 0.85) and for each dimension (perseverance of effort, α = 0.78; interest, α = 0.84) (Duckworth et al, 2007).…”

“…We have identified several gaps in the research that we would like to investigate in our study. First, we could not establish the existence of studies that determined the psychometric properties of the Grit-O when used in contexts other than the United States (Christensen and Knezek, 2014), Russia (Tyumeneva et al, 2017), and South Korea (Kim and Lee, 2015). Specifically, we established that no study has been published that investigated psychometric properties of the Grit-O scale within the Netherlands or in any other Western-European context.…”

The Psychometric Properties of the Grit-O Scale Within the Twente Region in Netherlands: An ICM-CFA vs. ESEM Approach

The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties (i.e., factorial validity, measurement invariance, and reliability) of the Grit-Original scale (Grit-O) within the Netherlands. The Grit-O scale was subjected to a competing measurement modeling strategy that sequentially compared both independent cluster model confirmatory factor analytical-and exploratory structural equation modeling approaches. The results showed that both a two first order, bi-factor structure as well as a less restrictive two factor ESEM factorial structure best-fitted the data. The instrument showed to be reliable at both a lower-(Cronbach's alpha) and upperlevel (composite reliability) limit. However, measurement invariance between genders could only be established for the B-ICM-CFA model. Finally, concurrent validity was established through relating the GRIT-O to task performance. The linear use of the Grit-O scale should therefore carefully be considered.

“…Among new teachers, grit is associated with higher efficacy and greater retention (Duckworth et al, 2009 ). People higher in grit show greater work engagement (Eskreis-Winkler et al, 2014b ), a reduced likelihood of changing professions or jobs (Duckworth et al, 2007 ; Eskreis-Winkler et al, 2014a ), more stable marriages (Eskreis-Winkler et al, 2014a ), less counterproductive behaviors (Ceschi et al, 2016 ), and higher scores on characteristics positively associated with life expectancy (Kim and Lee, 2015 ). Although the number of studies showing incremental prediction by grit is substantial, the contribution of grit is modest and may attributable primarily to the perseverance feature of the construct (Credé et al, 2017 ).…”

“…Given the relevance of grit for consequential outcomes in the educational, personal, and professional domains, it is not surprising that the original and short grit scales are widely used across research topics and disciplines. Early work with the construct almost exclusively involved English-speaking respondents; however, recent years have witnessed multiple adaptations of one or both of the measures, including versions in German (Fleckenstein et al, 2014 ), Korean (Kim and Lee, 2015 ), Japanese (Nishikawa et al, 2015 ), Turkish (Akin et al, 2011 ), and Russian (Tyumeneva et al, 2014 ). Conspicuously absent is an adaptation of the instrument for use in research involving Spanish-speaking populations.…”

Development and Validation of a Spanish Version of the Grit-S Scale

This paper describes the development and initial validation of a Spanish version of the Short Grit (Grit-S) Scale. The Grit-S Scale was adapted and translated into Spanish using the Translation, Review, Adjudication, Pre-testing, and Documentation model and responses to a preliminary set of items from a large sample of university students (N = 1,129). The resultant measure was validated using data from a large stratified random sample of young adults (N = 1,826). Initial validation involved evaluating the internal consistency of the adapted scale and its subscales and comparing the factor structure of the adapted version to that of the original scale. The results were comparable to results from similar analyses of the English version of the scale. Although the internal consistency of the subscales was low, the internal consistency of the full scale was well-within the acceptable range. A two-factor model offered an acceptable account of the data; however, when a single correlated error involving two highly similar items was included, a single factor model fit the data very well. The results support the use of overall scores from the Spanish Grit-S Scale in future research.

Development and Initial Validation of the L2‐Teacher Grit Scale

et al. 2020

Grit—“perseverance and passion for long‐term goals” (Duckworth, Peterson, Matthews, & Kelly, 2007, p. 1087)—has attracted the attention of researchers in fields ranging from psychology to business to education (e.g., Robertson‐Kraft & Duckworth, 2014; Robins, 2019). Continuing the line of research that explores the domain specificity of grit (e.g., F. T. C. Schmidt, Fleckenstein, Retelsdorf, Eskreis‐Winkler, & Möller, 2017), this study introduces the L2‐Teacher Grit Scale (L2TGS) developed to measure grit specifically among English language teachers (N = 202). The results demonstrated, first, that the L2TGS possessed sufficient internal‐consistency reliability (ω = .77). A subsequent principal components analysis revealed a two‐component structure (POV = 50.87%), thus yielding evidence in favor of construct validity. A one‐tailed Pearson’s test for positive correlation between Duckworth and Quinn’s (2009) domain‐general Grit–S and L2TGS scores established concurrent validity of the new measure (rc = .84). Lastly, the L2TGS exhibited a stronger predictive validity, explaining approximately 21% of the variance in L2‐teacher retention‐related scores compared to the Grit–S, which was a statistically nonsignificant predictor accounting for 4% of the total variance. Of note, female teachers had higher levels of grit than male teachers. In sum, our findings indicate support for an occupation‐specific approach to grit.
