Investigating grit and its relations with college students’ self-regulated learning and academic achievement

Exploring factors related to college student expertise in digital games and their relationships to academics

“…Grit is characterized by perseverance, which includes self-efficacy and time management, as well as consistency of interest and focus on long-term goals (Wolters & Hussain, 2015;Duckworth, Peterson, Matthews, & Kelly, 2007). These qualities match fairly well with the qualities that were highlighted in the Dedication variable in this study.…”

Grit, Mindset, and Academic Performance: A Study of Pre-University Science Students

“…The discrepancy between the two grit dimensions in predicting academic outcomes was similarly reflected in other studies, suggesting that further studies need to be conducted to examine the internal consistency between the two dimensions of grit (Chang, 2014;Maccann & Roberts, 2010;Muenks, Wigfield, Yang, & O'Neal, 2017;Wolters & Hussain, 2015). Chang (2014) studied the effects of grit on incoming freshmen at a competitive four-year institution.…”

“…When examining factors predicting GPA at four-year universities, the effect of grit is inconsistent, with some studies showing a definitively positive relationship (Duckworth et al, 2007;Strayhorn, 2014) while others more inconclusive (Bazelais, Lemay, & Doleck, 2016;Chang, 2014;Jaegar, Freeman, Whalen, & Payne, 2010;Wolters & Hussain, 2015). Along with pioneering the grit construct, Duckworth et al (2007) were also the first to conduct studies on grit in relation to academic achievement.…”

Development and Validation of the Self-Regulated Learning Test Anxiety Scale

“…Effective self-regulated learners can monitor and control their anxiety and implement strategies to combat the situations which illicit negative affective responses (e.g., Virtanen, R. A. Sperling et al Psychology Nevgi, & Niemi, 2015;Wolters & Hussain, 2015).…”
