In recent years, research in educational contexts has pointed to the role of grit as a variable related to various positive outcomes, including life satisfaction. Academic adaptation seems vital for the success of academic life in college students. Considering university as an important life context for people pursuing higher education, what is the mediating effect of academic adaptation? This study proposed a mediation model to examine the mediating effect of academic adaptation in the relationship grit and life satisfaction.
A sample of 413 undergraduate Brazilian students, age ranging from 18 to 71 years ( = 27.30; SD = 10.20). A correlation analysis was performed between the variables and the following mediation model was tested: Grit (independent variable), academic adaptation (mediating variables) and life satisfaction (dependent variables).
Mediation analysis indicated that academic adaptation mediated around 46.80% for the factor of consistency of interests and 40.90% of the relationship with perseverance of effort. Thus, the greater the grit of the university student, the greater the grit, which leads to better satisfaction with life.
In recent years, research in educational contexts has pointed to the role of grit as a variable related to various positive outcomes. The findings elucidated that grit in academic context could benefit students' adaptation process, and the university's responsibility to improve its students' softskills, not only for the future stage after university, but also during the student's schooling.
近年来，教育领域的研究指出了毅力作为一个与各种积极成果相关的变量的作用，包括生活满意度。学业适应对于大学生学术生活的成功似乎至关重要。考虑到大学是追求高等教育的人的重要生活背景，学业适应的中介作用是什么？本研究提出了一个中介模型，以检验学业适应在毅力与生活满意度关系中的中介作用。
选取413名巴西本科学生作为样本，年龄在18至71岁之间（平均年龄=27.30岁；标准差=10.20岁）。对变量进行了相关分析，并检验了以下中介模型：毅力（自变量）、学业适应（中介变量）和生活满意度（因变量）。
中介分析表明，学业适应在兴趣一致性因素中起约46.80%的中介作用，在与努力坚持性的关系中起40.90%的中介作用。因此，大学生的毅力越强，生活满意度越高。
近年来，教育领域的研究指出了毅力作为一个与各种积极成果相关的变量的作用。研究结果表明，学术背景下的毅力可以促进学生的适应过程，大学有责任提高学生的软技能，这不仅有利于学生大学后的未来阶段，也有利于学生在校期间。
