Two studies were conducted to further the understanding of daily experiences of perseverance and passion and the influences of personality traits (e.g., grit and conscientiousness) and contextual factors. Study 1 applied the experience sampling method ( = 116; observations = 5,187) and found that perseverance of effort (PE) predicted passion when controlling for conscientiousness. Study 2 used the day reconstruction method ( = 468; observations = 1,872) and found that both PE and consistency of interest (CI) had effects, although CI was a stronger predictor than PE. In both studies, PE was moderated only by instrumentality of the activity, whereas CI was moderated only by perceived difficulty. We also found mediating effects of instrumentality, (lower) perceived difficulty, and (fewer) intrusive thoughts on the pathways between traits and perseverance and passion. These results deepen our knowledge on why and how perseverance-related traits impact daily experiences of perseverance and passion.
进行了两项研究，以进一步了解毅力和激情的日常体验以及人格特质（如坚毅和尽责性）和情境因素的影响。研究1采用经验取样法（n = 116；观察次数 = 5187），发现控制尽责性时，努力坚持（PE）可预测激情。研究2采用日重建法（n = 468；观察次数 = 1872），发现努力坚持和兴趣一致性（CI）均有影响，尽管兴趣一致性比努力坚持的预测力更强。在两项研究中，努力坚持仅受活动工具性的调节，而兴趣一致性仅受感知难度的调节。我们还发现工具性、（较低的）感知难度和（较少的）侵入性思维在特质与坚持和激情之间的路径上具有中介作用。这些结果加深了我们对与坚持相关的特质为何以及如何影响坚持和激情的日常体验的认识。
