“…This result shows that grit has a 36.5% contribution to student flourishing. This aligns with research conducted previously by Shariff et al (2022), which found that grit has a 21% role in the flourishing rate of students in Malaysia. Gokcen et al (2012) revealed that students who flourish will show attitudes and behaviors that are involved, have a commitment to learning, have enthusiasm, and lead to self-growth, while students who do not flourish are described as lacking attachment and interest and withdrawn, lazy and unwilling to move forward.…”

The Covid-19 pandemic affected the level of individual flourishing, including students. However, research on flourishing with grit and gratitude as predictors still needs to be more explored. This study aims to determine the role of grit and gratitude towards flourishing in post-pandemic students. Voluntary convenience sampling was used to obtain respondents (N = 643 active students in the even semester 2021-2022). Data retrieval uses the grit scale, gratitude scale, and flourishing scale. Data analysis using multiple regression analysis obtained the result of the calculated F value of 490.061 with a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). So, the variables grit and gratitude are predictors of flourishing variables. The effective contribution in the R Square column shows a figure of 0.605 or 60.5%. This means that the grit and gratitude variables contribute effectively to the flourishing intention variable by 60.5%. While other variables outside this study influenced the remaining 39.5%. They are partially showing that the most critical role in student flourishing in this study was grit (36.5%) compared to gratitude (24%). This study suggests that those who have higher levels of grit and gratitude will be able to maximize their abilities to obtain a quality and prosperous life, have positive emotions, and good study engagement.

“…In Malaysia, there are not many studies examining the grit level of primary school students and most of the studies have focused on secondary school students and students of higher learning institutions (Hassan et al, 2022;Farok & Mahmud, 2020;Matore et al, 2020;Mustaza & Kutty, 2022;Shariff et al, 2022;Jaafar & Maat, 2020). Thus, the discussion of this topic allows for the opportunities to identify issues related to grit aspects faced by SJKT students, especially those involving minorities such as Indian students.…”

Grit is defined as passion and perseverance for long-term and meaningful goals. In the subject of Mathematics in primary school, there is a need for students to persevere to get answers. Grit encourages students to continue working hard despite difficulties or failures and this trait is very important in the workplace. However, there are not many discussions that debate issues related to grit in Mathematics in the context of Tamil National Primary School (SJKT) students. There are three main issues that cause the grit issues expressed in this concept paper: (i) an attitude of giving up when solving high-level math problems; ii) no clear goals due to a lack of interest in learning Mathematics, and (iii) the ambiguity of grit level measurement in Mathematics in the context of SJKT students. This concept paper is unique because it elaborates on grit issues in Mathematics, especially among Indian students. This study suggests that grit empowerment should be done from primary school at SJKT through an effective student development program. This paper needs to be given attention so that the community is more aware of the development of grit in Mathematics, especially in the Indian student community. The proposed solutions can be developed through the school's efforts to make students more persistent and not give up when solving difficult Mathematical problems.

Background: This study investigated the relationship between gratitude, purpose in life and flourishing, as well as the mediating role of purpose in life in the relationship between gratitude and flourishing in two different cultures, Indian and Polish. We also examined the moderating role of gender in the relationship between gratitude and purpose in life. Methods: A sample of 328 Indian and 303 Polish participants aged 18–56 years completed the Gratitude, Resentment, and Appreciation Scale, the Purpose in Life Questionnaire, and the Flourishing Scale. Pearson’s correlations were used to assess the associations between the main study variables, and PROCESS software was used to calculate moderated mediation. Results: Findings showed that gratitude and purpose in life were positively related to flourishing. Life purpose mediated the relationship between gratitude and flourishing. In the Indian sample, gender was a statistically significant moderator between gratitude (and its three facets) and purpose in life. In the Polish sample, gender moderated the relationship between overall gratitude and only one dimension (a sense of abundance) and purpose in life. Conclusions: The results suggest that enhancing gratitude and a sense of purpose in life can significantly improve individuals’ flourishing, considering gender and cultural differences.
