Abstract

Grit refers to a condition in which university students persist in pursuing long-term goals, accompanied by perseverance that enables them to remain resilient when facing challenges or failures throughout the process. This study aimed to examine the effect of growth mindset on students’ levels of grit. A quantitative approach was employed in this research. The sample consisted of 380 students from nine faculties at University X, selected using a convenience sampling technique. Data were collected using two psychological scales: a grit scale comprising 26 items (α = 0.918) and a growth mindset scale comprising 18 items (α = 0.909). Both instruments had been tested for validity and reliability. The results of the analysis showed a significance value of 0.000, indicating that growth mindset has a significant effect on grit. The correlation coefficient (R = 0.751) indicates a strong positive relationship, suggesting that the two variables are positively associated. These findings are beneficial for educational institutions in designing growth mindset development programs to enhance students’ resilience and perseverance in dealing with academic challenges.
