Grit has been identified as playing a prominent role in the learning process. However, the development of students' grit within the family environment remains under-researched.
This study employed a longitudinal design to explore how perceived parental growth mindsets (T1) influence students' math-specific grit (T2) and examined the mediating role of growth mindset and self-efficacy; (T2) in this relationship.
The participants included 1005 secondary school students in China.
Structural equation modeling was employed to examine the relationship between parental growth mindset and children's motivational beliefs and grit. Bootstrap analysis was further conducted to assess the mediating roles of growth mindset and self-efficacy.
The results demonstrated that perceived parental growth mindsets positively predicted students' growth mindsets. Consistency of interest was positively associated with self-efficacy, while perseverance of effort was positively predicted by both students' growth mindsets and self-efficacy. The results of the bootstrap analysis supported the chained mediational role of growth mindsets and self-efficacy between parental growth mindsets and students' math-specific grit.
Overall, this study found a positive impact of perceived parental growth mindset on children's math-specific grit and revealed the underlying mechanism by verifying the mediating roles of children's growth mindset and self-efficacy.
坚毅已被确定在学习过程中发挥着重要作用。然而，家庭环境中学生坚毅品质的发展仍未得到充分研究。
本研究采用纵向设计，探讨父母的成长型思维模式认知（T1）如何影响学生的数学特定坚毅品质（T2），并检验成长型思维模式和自我效能感（T2）在这种关系中的中介作用。
参与者包括1005名中国中学生。
采用结构方程模型来检验父母成长型思维模式与孩子的动机信念和坚毅之间的关系。进一步进行Bootstrap分析以评估成长型思维模式和自我效能感的中介作用。
结果表明，父母成长型思维模式认知正向预测学生的成长型思维模式。兴趣的一致性与自我效能感呈正相关，而努力的坚持性则由学生的成长型思维模式和自我效能感共同正向预测。Bootstrap分析结果支持成长型思维模式和自我效能感在父母成长型思维模式与学生数学特定坚毅品质之间的链式中介作用。
总体而言，本研究发现父母成长型思维模式认知对孩子的数学特定坚毅品质有积极影响，并通过验证孩子成长型思维模式和自我效能感的中介作用揭示了潜在机制。
