Investigating Grit at a Non-Cognitive Predictor of College Success (2016, background): “These findings together stand in contrast to other studies showing no relationship between total self-report grit scores and GPA for two different samples of first-year cadets attending the United States Military Academy (Duckworth et al., 2007; Maddi et al., 2012).”
Investigating grit and its relations with college students’ self-regulated learning and academic achievement (2015, background): “Although grit is considered distinct from other personal traits and has proven useful for explaining academic outcomes (Duckworth and Quinn 2009; Maddi et al. 2012; Strayhorn 2013), the relation of grit and SRL has not yet been investigated.”
When the going gets tough: Grit predicts costly perseverance (2015, background): “…in line with the perspective that grit acts as courage to push through fear of failure, because authors who use this conceptualization directly assert that, because of this courage, grittier individuals resist changing direction speciﬁcally when losses could be cut (e.g., Maddi et al., 2012).”
