IRT Analysis and Validation of the Grit Scale: A Russian Investigation

This study aims to test the validity and reliability of Grit as a measuring device which was initially developed by . As commonly known, Grit performs as a research variable in the field of personality psychology, and educational psychology. It is also developed to optimize employees' performance in some corporations; hence, it also encompasses the study of industrial and organizational psychology and includes some dimensions of perseverance and passion. Grit Scale has proven to be valid when it tested on military cadets in the USA; however, in order to obtain more validity, it needs to be tested again in Indonesia. Using 200 millennial in Surabaya, Indonesia, as research subjects, this research was conducted between April and July 2019. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was performed using Analysis of Structural Moment (AMOS) and proved to be valid. Moreover, Short Grit Scale (Grit-S) was also proven to be valid and reliable with 2 = 20.97; probability value = 0.138; RMSEA = 0.045; CFI = 0.972; GFI = 0.976; and AGFI = 0.941. While the composite reliability set was 0.82. Hence, it is concluded that Short Grit Scale is valid and reliable to be tested on Indonesian millennial.

“…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.

“…Since the design of the Grit Scale, several adaptation and validity studies providing evidence of a bifactorial structure of the scale have been carried out across different cultural contexts such as Russia, Japan, Britain, Germany, Italy, The Philippines, China and Ghana among others (e.g., Abuhassàn & Bates, 2015;Datu, Valdez, & King, 2016;Lenz, Watson, Luo, Norris, & Nkyvi, 2018;Muenks, Wigfield, Yang, & O'Neal, 2017;Nishikawa, Okugami, & Amemiya, 2015;Schmidt, Fleckenstein, Retelsdorf, Eskreis-Winkler, & Möller, 2017;Sulla, Renati, Bonfiglio, & Rollo, 2018;Tyumeneva, Kuzmina, & Kardanova, 2014;Wang et al, 2017). However, Datu, Yuen and Chen (2017) validated a triarchic model of grit, where adaptability to the situation was an emergent factor for Grit assessment in Philippine culture, since non-significant results were found for the consistency of interest.…”

The lack of valid tools to measure variables related to healthy behaviors in Mexico has led the authors to adapt and validate the Grit Scale and the Treatment Self-Regulation Questionnaire (TSRQ) for diet into Mexican Spanish, and explore the relationship between grit and types of motivation towards healthy eating as evidence of validity. The Grit Scale and the TSRQ in Spanish were put to 353 adults from the state of Nuevo León, Mexico. The Grit Scale was composed of 12 items distributed into two factors (consistency of interest and perseverance of effort), and the TSRQ for diet was composed of 15 items distributed into three factors (autonomous motivation, controlled motivation, and amotivation). Results showed acceptable fit indices for the long and short versions of the Grit Scale, confirming its two-factor structure. In addition, acceptable fit indices were found for the TSRQ for diet, indicating the presence of three latent factors. Significant and positive relationships were found between grit and autonomous motivation, and negative relationships with controlled and amotivation. The analyses carried out indicated that the instruments administrated are valid and reliable tools for use in Mexico.Resumen La ausencia de instrumentos válidos para medir variables relacionadas con las conductas saludables en México, nos lleva al objetivo de adaptar y validar al idioma español hablado en México la escala Grit y el cuestionario de autorregulación del tratamiento (TSRQ) de la dieta, y explorar la relación entre el Grit y la motivación hacia la alimentación saludable como evidencia de validez. 353 adultos del estado de Nuevo León respondieron a la escala Grit adaptada al español conformada por 12 ítems distribuidos en dos factores (consistencia del interés y perseverancia del esfuerzo) y al TSRQ adaptada al español compuesto por 15 ítems en tres factores (motivación autónoma, motivación controlada y no motivación). Los resultados mostraron índices de ajuste
