Abstract

This study aims to examine four kinds of grit scales for 385 Chinese undergraduates using both within-network and between-network approaches to construct validation. Our results revealed that grit was more suitable for a two-factor model than a hierarchical construct. Second, though the three-factor grit was the best fit for the Chinese context, the association between perseverance of effort and adaptability to situations may be conceptually problematic. Third, academic grit was more salient in predicting academic outcomes while adaptability to situations was more linked to well-being outcomes.
