“…This involves four items assessing perseverance of effort (e.g., "Setbacks don't discourage me"), i.e., a personal disposition to persist in one's efforts despite difficulties. The subscale displayed an acceptable internal consistency in the Italian version (α = 0.61; [79]), and in the present study as well (α = 0.70).…”

Little is known about the intraindividual dispositional factors related to cognitive, behavioral, and emotional academic learning outcomes under COVID-19. This study investigated (i) the associations of intraindividual factors, some related to studying (motivation to learn, self-regulated learning, and study resilience), others more general (soft skills, intolerance of uncertainty) with three situational academic learning outcomes (general distress, online self-regulated learning, study-related emotions), and (ii) the effect of time, intraindividual factors, online self-regulated learning, and study-related emotions on distress and achievement over the following three exam sessions. A total of 331 university students took part in the study during the first Italian nationwide lockdown (T1; March–May 2020). Of those, 121 also completed at least one follow-up (T2: August 2020; T3: September 2020; T4: February 2021). At T1, study-related dispositions and soft skills were positively associated with online self-regulated learning and study-related emotions, while study-related dispositions were also negatively associated with general distress. Intolerance of uncertainty was associated positively with general distress and negatively with study-related emotions. Longitudinal effects of T2 and T3 for intolerance of uncertainty and study-related emotions were observed for distress, while those for T4 were study-related dispositions for achievement. Nurturing intraindividual factors can help students cope with a prolonged stressful situation such as a pandemic.

“…These results are similar to those found by Duckworth and Quinn (2009), who obtained better fit indexes for the short version than for the long one. Also, several studies have found better indices for the grit structure with two related factors in both long and short versions (e.g., Abuhassàn & Bates, 2015;Datu et al, 2016;Lenz et al, 2018;Nishikawa et al, 2015;Schmidt et al, 2017;Sulla et al, 2018). In addition, the fit indexes found in the scale adapted to the Mexican context also coincide with those found by Abuhassàn and Bates (2015) and Datu et al (2016) who obtained adequate fit for two factors with six items each.…”

“…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

“…El desacuerdo encontrado entre los distintos estudios realizados, y el hecho de adaptar el instrumento al ámbito del deporte, hizo necesario llevar a cabo un proceso de adaptación y validación de la escala para poder medirlo. Esta primera aportación consistió en la validación y adaptación de la escala Grit a población española (Barriopedro et al, 2018), uniéndose a numerosos estudios de validación que se han realizado en otros países: Filipinas (D Çatu et al, 2017), México (Cavazos, Hinojosa y Karaman, 2018), China (Li et al, 2016), Rusia (Tyumeneva et al, 2014), Alemania (Schmidt et al, 2017) o Italia (Sulla, Renati, Bonfiglio y Rollo, 2018). La mayoría de los trabajos se han validado con muestras de estudiantes universitarios o de trabajadores (Zhong et al, 2018) y, en general, con población adulta (Marentes-Castillo, Zamarripa y Castillo, Wyszyńska et al, 2017).…”
