Настойчивость как ментальный ресурс
A. L. Duckworth proposed “grit” as a personal trait, which includes passion and perseverance for long-term goals. Studies show that gritty people achieve their goals, are psychologically prosperous, quickly recover from failures, and cope with difficult life situations easier than others. We wanted to explore whether grit is really a mental resource that allows to cope with fears, uncer-tainty, and failures for the sake of subjectively significant goal. Two hundred thirty-five respondents took part in the study. The method of content-anal-ysis was used. The following units of analysis were identified – “subjective well-being”, “overcoming difficulties”, “significant goal”. The hypotheses put forward have been partially confirmed. Important results were obtained that testified to the ambiguous role of grit. These data will have to be checked in order to find out when grit is a mental resource, and when its manifesta-tions are detrimental to the personality.
