The present study investigated whether grit can mitigate the associations between school burnout, loneliness, and depressive symptoms among adolescents. It also examined gender differences.
This study included 1296 seventh and 1166 eighth graders from Finland. The study variables were self-reported and regression analysis was performed.
This study found that two grit facets - consistency of interest and perseverance of effort - played resilient roles in school burnout. A high level of grit substantially reduced reported depressive symptoms when adolescents experienced high school burnout. Our further analysis showed that the role of grit was more pronounced among boys than among girls. When male adolescents were at risk of school burnout, both consistency of interest and perseverance of effort protected them and they had only low levels of loneliness and depressive symptoms.
This study demonstrates that grit can act as a resilience factor among adolescents.
本研究旨在探讨坚毅是否可以减轻青少年的学校倦怠、孤独感和抑郁症状之间的关联，并考察其中的性别差异。
本研究纳入了来自芬兰的 1296 名七年级学生和 1166 名八年级学生。研究变量为自我报告，采用回归分析。
本研究发现，坚毅的两个方面——兴趣的一致性和努力的毅力——在学校倦怠中发挥了弹性作用。当青少年经历高学校倦怠时，高水平的坚毅显著降低了报告的抑郁症状。我们的进一步分析表明，坚毅的作用在男孩中比在女孩中更为明显。当男青少年面临学校倦怠的风险时，兴趣的一致性和努力的毅力都保护了他们，使他们只有低水平的孤独感和抑郁症状。
本研究表明，坚毅可以作为青少年的一个弹性因素。
