坚毅被认为是一种更高阶的人格特质，它对成功和绩效具有高度预测性，并且与责任心等其他特质不同。本文对坚毅文献进行了荟萃分析综述，特别关注坚毅的结构以及坚毅与绩效、记忆力、责任心、认知能力和人口统计变量之间的关系。我们的结果基于代表 66,807 个人的 88 个独立样本的 584 个效应大小，结果表明坚毅的高阶结构尚未得到证实，坚毅仅与绩效和保留率中度相关，而坚毅与尽责性具有非常强的相关性。我们还发现，努力的坚持比兴趣的一致性具有明显更强的标准有效性，并且即使在控制了责任心之后，努力的坚持也解释了学业成绩的差异。总的来说，我们的结果表明，旨在增强毅力的干预措施可能只会对绩效和成功产生微弱的影响，毅力的构造有效性存在问题，并且毅力构造的主要效用可能在于毅力方面。
Grit has been presented as a higher order personality trait that is highly predictive of both success and performance and distinct from other traits such as conscientiousness. This paper provides a meta-analytic review of the grit literature with a particular focus on the structure of grit and the relation between grit and performance, retention, conscientiousness, cognitive ability, and demographic variables. Our results based on 584 effect sizes from 88 independent samples representing 66,807 individuals indicate that the higher order structure of grit is not confirmed, that grit is only moderately correlated with performance and retention, and that grit is very strongly correlated with conscientiousness. We also find that the perseverance of effort facet has significantly stronger criterion validities than the consistency of interest facet and that perseverance of effort explains variance in academic performance even after controlling for conscientiousness. In aggregate our results suggest that interventions designed to enhance grit may only have weak effects on performance and success, that the construct validity of grit is in question, and that the primary utility of the grit construct may lie in the perseverance facet.
