The present study examined the relationships among grit, academic performance, perceived academic failure, and stress levels of Hong Kong associate degree students using path analysis. Three hundred and forty-five students from a community college in Hong Kong voluntarily participated in the study. They completed a questionnaire that measured their grit (operationalized as interest and perseverance) and stress levels. The students also provided their actual academic performance and evaluated their perception of their academic performance as a success or a failure. The results of the path analysis showed that interest and perseverance were negatively associated with stress, and only perceived academic failure was positively associated with stress. These findings suggest that psychological appraisal and resources are more important antecedents of stress than objective negative events. Therefore, fostering students' psychological resilience may alleviate the stress experienced by associate degree students or college students in general.
本研究采用路径分析方法，考察了香港副学士学位学生的毅力、学业成绩、感知到的学业失败与压力水平之间的关系。来自香港一所社区学院的345名学生自愿参与了这项研究。他们完成了一份问卷，该问卷测量了他们的毅力（具体化为兴趣和毅力）和压力水平。学生们还提供了他们的实际学业成绩，并评估了他们对自己学业成绩是成功还是失败的看法。路径分析结果表明，兴趣和毅力与压力呈负相关，只有感知到的学业失败与压力呈正相关。这些发现表明，心理评估和资源比客观负面事件更重要，是压力的前因。因此，培养学生的心理韧性可能会减轻副学士学位学生或一般大学生所经历的压力。
