The Roles of Resilience, Grit, and Academic Resilience on Student Achievement While Controlling for Depression, Anxiety, and Stress

Abstract

The current study explored the relationships between resilience, academic resilience, and grit with student achievement while controlling for depression, anxiety, and stress. One hundred and sixty-one participants were administered assessments measuring resilience, academic resilience, grit, depression, anxiety, and stress, as well as a demographics questionnaire which included their self-report GPA. The results showed a significant relationship between grit and GPA, while controlling for the other covariates measured in the study. Neither resilience nor academic resilience had a significant relationship with any of the other constructs or with GPA. Implications for these findings and future directions for research are discussed.
