Grit plays a critical role in the academic achievement and future career success of college students. The family environment has an important influence on the development of individual grit, but the mechanisms linking family and grit are not well known. To further understand these relationships, this study sought to explore the mediating role of basic psychological needs between parental autonomy support and grit, and the moderating role of achievement motivation.
The present study model was developed according to the proposed hypotheses and was analyzed using structural equation modeling. A total of 984 college students in Hunan Province, China participated in the present study. The following tools were used: Perceived Parental Autonomy Support Scale, Basic Psychological Needs Scales, Short Grit Scale, and Achievement Motivation Scale.
Parental autonomy support was positively correlated with basic psychological needs and grit, and both basic psychological needs and achievement motivation were positively correlated with grit. Basic psychological needs mediated the effect of parental autonomy support on grit. Achievement motivation moderated the second half of the path of the mediation model.
Parental autonomy support influences perseverance through the mediation of basic psychological needs, and achievement motivation plays a moderating role. Findings of this study reveal the influence of family environment on grit, and give reference to the development of grit.
坚毅对大学生的学业成就和未来职业成功起着关键作用。家庭环境对个体坚毅的发展具有重要影响，但家庭与坚毅之间的联系机制尚不清楚。为了进一步了解这些关系，本研究试图探讨基本心理需求在父母自主支持与坚毅之间的中介作用，以及成就动机的调节作用。
本研究模型根据提出的假设构建，并采用结构方程模型进行分析。共有984名来自中国湖南省的大学生参与了本研究。使用了以下工具：父母自主支持感知量表、基本心理需求量表、简短坚毅量表和成就动机量表。
父母自主支持与基本心理需求和坚毅呈正相关，基本心理需求和成就动机均与坚毅呈正相关。基本心理需求介导了父母自主支持对坚毅的影响。成就动机调节了中介模型路径的后半段。
父母自主支持通过基本心理需求的中介作用影响毅力，成就动机起调节作用。本研究结果揭示了家庭环境对坚毅的影响，并为坚毅的培养提供了参考。
