What Shall We Do About Grit? A Critical Review of What We Know and What We Don’t Know (2018, neutral): “The generally weak relationship between grit and performance was also confirmed by our recent meta-analytic review of the grit literature (Credé et al., 2017), which also noted that two of the stronger claims about the effectiveness of grit as a predictor of success appear to be based on a…”
L2 grit: Passion and perseverance for second-language learning (2020, methodology): “…however, that the 2-item conscientiousness scale used in this study does not allow an examination of the links between grit and those facets of conscientiousness (e.g. industriousness and self-discipline) that are argued to be closely related to grit (Credé et al., 2017; Schmidt et al., 2018).”
Same Same, but Different? Relations between Facets of Conscientiousness and Grit (2018, methodology): “We expected that both facets of grit, perseverance and consistency, would be related to the superordinate conscientiousness factor and the more specific proactive industriousness factor, although it seemed reasonable to expect stronger associations for the perseverance facet (Credé et al., 2016).”
The role of grit and classroom enjoyment in EFL learners’ willingness to communicate (2020, neutral): “The present result is consistent with mounting evidence from prior studies (Credé, Tynan, and Harms 2017; Karlen et al. 2019) that demonstrate that a narrow facet of grit may o ﬀ er a more reliable prediction of L2 WTC behaviour than is the case for broad traits (a combination of perseverance of e…”
Grit and language learning: construct validation of L2-Grit scale and its relation to later vocabulary knowledge (2021, background): “For example, Cred e et al. (2017) have questioned whether a two-factor structure is more appropriate than a second-order factor solution.”
Constructing Validity: New Developments in Creating Objective Measuring Instruments (2019, background): “A recent meta-analysis, however, found that its per-severance facet better predicted success than the construct as a whole (Credé, Tynan, & Harms, 2017), thus challenging the theoretical basis of the construct.”
A cross-cultural investigation on perseverance, self-regulated learning, motivation, and achievement (2019, background): “Credé, Tynan, and Harms (2017) suggested the PE facet of grit as the ‘most promising avenue of future research’ (p. 12).”
