“…The results of this study suggest that high school students who are more persistent and flexible in achieving long-term goals are more likely to experience higher levels of satisfaction with their educational experience. Past investigations linking grit with students' life satisfaction found that such association was mediated by meaning in life (Djaling & Purba, 2020) hope (Ekinci & Koç, 2023), and career development self-efficacy (Datu et al, 2022). As an important psychological trait, grit allows individuals to maintain optimal mental health outcomes and sustained enthusiasm amid challenges and difficulties to achieve prospective goals in life (Vainio & Daukantaitė, 2016).…”

Research has shown that the triarchic model of grit scale (TMGS)—a measure that assesses tendency to show perseverance, passion, and adaptability for long‐term goals—has been valid in different contexts such as the Philippines, Japan, Poland, mainland China, and the United States. However, there is limited research on the validity of this scale in Hong Kong. Against this backdrop, this research examined the structural, convergent, and criterion‐related of the TMGS among secondary school students in Hong Kong. A total of 298 secondary school students in Hong Kong participated in this study. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to evaluate the structural validity of the three‐factor model of grit. Correlational analysis was conducted between grit's dimensions and school satisfaction to assess the criterion‐related validity of this scale. CFA showed that the scores from the three‐factor model of grit underpinned by perseverance of effort, consistency of interests, and adaptability to situations were valid and reliable. There was mixed evidence on the convergent validity of the scale based on the subscales’ composite reliability (CR) estimates. Whereas perseverance of effort and adaptability to situations were positively correlated to school satisfaction, consistency of interests was negatively linked to the said criterion variable. This research demonstrates the potential applicability of the TMGS in Hong Kong.

“…Optimism explains a significant part of life satisfaction (Sapmaz & Dogan, 2012). In addition, individuals with high hope levels get more satisfaction from life (Atilla & Yildirim, 2023;Ekinci & Koc, 2023). In another study, a positive and significant relationship was found between optimism and subjective well-being (Eryilmaz & Atak, 2011).…”

“…In another study, the relationships between university students' life satisfaction and academic self-efficacy, positive relationships, and psychological resilience were examined (Mao et al, 2022). There are studies in which hope, self-efficacy, and personality traits have significant relationships with life satisfaction (Atilla & Yildirim, 2023;Ekinci & Koc, 2023;van Zyl & Dhurup, 2018). Some studies reveal the relationship between perceived social support, spiritual well-being, and life satisfaction among university students (Alorani & Alradaydeh, 2018).…”

Life satisfaction is one of the essential goals of individuals in life. Today, the effects of increasingly lonely working and acting behaviors on life satisfaction have not been sufficiently studied. This study investigated the mediating role of positivity in the relationship between university students' life satisfaction and the tendency to act and work alone (i.e., lone wolf personality). The participants of the research are 249 people. The age of the participants is between 18-29 (Mean = 22.28, SD = 4.00). The Life Satisfaction with Life Scale, Lone Wolf Scale, and Positivity Scale were used as data collection tools in the study. The data were analyzed with the structural equation modeling method. According to the results, the lone wolf personality affects life satisfaction. In addition, it has been determined that positivity has a fully mediating role in the relationship between life satisfaction and lone wolf personality. The findings were discussed in the context of the literature.

“…Recent studies have confirmed the predictive role of grit on hope (i.e., Yang & Wu, 2021). For example, in a university student sample, participants with greater grit tended to report higher hope (Ekinci & Koç, 2022). Thus, I proposed that individuals' grit level is positively connected to hope, and these two mediators serially mediate the association between mindfulness and flourishing (Hypothesis 4).…”

This practitioner research in education paper is based on the experiences of two English language educators taking part in a collaborative online international learning project, otherwise known as COIL. Synchronous and asynchronous teaching methods were used for English language learners to meet and work with students from other countries. The collaboration took place virtually between two institutions of higher education, located on different sides of the globe, namely Mexico and Singapore. Students met to work in groups on a project, in an authentic situation to practice the target language. The experience provided students with intercultural and transnational learning through interaction, collaboration and taking ownership of their learning. With little or no experience of taking part in COIL projects, the practitioners investigated three key questions: 1. What are the benefits to students of taking part in international collaboration? 2. What are the challenges of such a project? 3. How do students cope with misunderstandings resulting from cultural and ethnic differences? Data was collected through the analysis of written online learning logs using thematic coding to create a survey given to participating students at the end of the project. The benefits, as well as the challenges, are considered followed by recommendations based on first-hand experiences and reflections to offer a practical reference for colleagues and educators who may wish to explore the feasibility of taking part in such a project.
