This volume provides a multi-disciplinary perspective on grit, its
measurement, manifestation and development. Specifically, it
provides a comprehensive and balanced response to critiques
associated with the construct within the contemporary positive
psychological literature. These critiques revolve around the lack
of consensus in the conceptualisation, measurement, and management
of grit, as well as consensus on its difference from other
psychological constructs such as conscientiousness, diligence or
determination. Therefore, this volume thoroughly reappraises and
consolidates the nature, function, measurement and implications of
grit in order to effectively advance the science of achievement. It
looks at grit scales developed in various countries and evaluates
the concept in various aspects of life, from work performance to
sports. Written by a team of multi-disciplinary experts in fields
ranging from neuroscience, sociology, and education to human
resource management and psychology, this volume firmly positions
grit within the discipline of positive psychology's nomological
lexicon.
