“…For example, Dixson (2021) discovered that grit, engagement, and self-concept could explain the variance in GPA among a group of urban students (r = .28, p < .01). Similarly, Collantes et al (2021) found that grit scores correlate with academic performance in Latin American university students (r = .32, p < .01). Likewise, found that the effectiveness of teaching processes, in terms of the academic gains of students, could be predicted by grit among other factors.…”

“…The scale has studies of adaptation, validation, and confirmation of the structure in Colombia (Collantes et al, 2021;Uribe-Moreno, Castiblanco-Moreno et al, 2022). A bifactorial structure was reported in the first study (n= 500 people), which explained 55% of the variance (factor 1: 33.84% and factor 2: 21.16%).…”

Grit, the passion for achieving long-term goals, has been conceived as a two-dimensional construct (Consistency of interest and Perseverance of effort). The construct is well known for its easy measurement and its relationship with performance, including academic performance. However, there have been different criticisms, such as the overlap of grit with other personality characteristics, the variability in the psychometric structure of the Grit-O and Grit-S tests, and the fact that some work reports a weak influence of grit on academic performance. Within this framework, this study contrasts different psychometric structures of the Grit-S scale and its relationship with the academic performance of higher education students. So, with this purpose, a dichotomous model of high and low grit, a K-medias clustering model, and three structural equation models have been tested. The results indicate that (a) there is a statistically significant relationship between grit —mainly determined by the consistency dimension— and academic performance, although it decreases when controlling for contextual variables, and (b) Consistency mediates the relationship between Perseverance and academic performance. The instability of grit to predict performance is discussed, and the thesis of a two-sub-dimensional structure is supported.

“…These results are in line with previous studies conducted with Spanish-speaking participants, which have investigated the GRIT-O scale in different work contexts. These studies have included samples of workers from Colombia ( Collantes-Tique et al, 2021 ), Mexico ( Collantes-Tique et al, 2021 ), and Spain ( Barriopedro et al, 2018 ; Barrientos Oradini et al, 2022 ). Consistent findings in different Spanish-speaking countries support the generalizability and robustness of the GRIT-O scale in the workplace, providing a solid basis for its use in research related to the development of perseverance and passion for goals at work.…”

“…In recent years, there has been a growing interest in both the scientific community and the business community in investigating the variables that impact the achievement of personal, academic and work-related goals ( Collantes-Tique et al, 2021 ). In the past, it was widely believed that intelligence was the primary and determining factor in achieving success, with the idea that people with higher intelligence quotient would obtain better results ( Uribe-Moreno et al, 2022 ).…”

BackgroundThe concept of Grit refers to a person’s ability to maintain perseverance and passion in the pursuit of long-term objectives. However, research on the applicability of the Grit-Original scale (Grit-O) in the Latin American context is limited.ObjectiveThis instrumental design study aimed to analyze the structure of this scale and its factorial invariance in relation to gender, as well as to examine its convergent validity with job satisfaction and happiness.MethodsA sample of 364 Peruvian workers that were selected through non-probabilistic convenience sampling in 2021.ResultsThe results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the two-dimensional structure of 12 items presented adequate goodness-of-fit indices. Additionally, the instrument is invariant between men and women. Likewise, the convergent relationship between the Grit scale, job satisfaction, and happiness variables was confirmed, which supports the validity of the instrument in the study context.ConclusionThe findings of the study confirm that the GRIT-O is a measure with adequate psychometric properties in the Peruvian context.

The aim of this study was to create and validate a ten-item Domain-specific Grit Scale for College Athletic Students (DGSCAS) to assess the level of grit among college athletic students. College athletic students from a single independent college located in a northern city in China (526 participants at time 1 and 589 participants at time 2) were assessed according to the scale. Various analyses were conducted in this study, including exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and measurement invariance analysis across different sex and birthplaces. The results of the EFA revealed two factors: consistency of interests and perseverance of effort. The CFA results demonstrated acceptable fit indices (x2 = 160.048, df = 34, x2/df = 4.707, CFI = 0.983, TLI = 0.978, SRMR = 0.021, and RMSEA = 0.079). The scale exhibited satisfactory convergent validity and discriminant validity. The significant correlation of these factors with the Grit scale provided strong evidence of criterion-related validity. Measurement invariance analysis indicated that the scale performed consistently across different sex and birthplaces. Three limitations and corresponding recommendations were discussed, including sample heterogeneity, the lack of a unified test result as a criterion for predictive validity, and the cross-sectional design of the study. In conclusion, the DGSCAS is a practical and validated instrument that can be used to assess the level of grit among college athletic students in an educational context.
