Continuing the line of research that explores the domain specificity of grit (e.g., F.

1087)-has attracted the attention of researchers in fields ranging from psychology to business to education (e.g., Robertson-Kraft & Duckworth, 2014 Robins, 2019). N2 - Grit-“perseverance and passion for long-term goals” (Duckworth, Peterson, Matthews, & Kelly, 2007, p. T1 - Development and Initial Validation of the L2-Teacher Grit Scale In sum, our findings indicate support for an occupation-specific approach to grit.", Of note, female teachers had higher levels of grit than male teachers. Lastly, the L2TGS exhibited a stronger predictive validity, explaining approximately 21% of the variance in L2-teacher retention-related scores compared to the Grit–S, which was a statistically nonsignificant predictor accounting for 4% of the total variance. Schmidt, Fleckenstein, Retelsdorf, Eskreis-Winkler, & Ms (2009) domain-general Grit–S and L2TGS scores established concurrent validity of the new measure (rc =.84). In sum, our findings indicate support for an occupation-specific approach to grit.Ībstract = "Grit-“perseverance and passion for long-term goals” (Duckworth, Peterson, Matthews, & Kelly, 2007, p. A one-tailed Pearson’s test for positive correlation between Duckworth and Quinn’s (2009) domain-general Grit–S and L2TGS scores established concurrent validity of the new measure (r c =.84). A subsequent principal components analysis revealed a two-component structure (POV = 50.87%), thus yielding evidence in favor of construct validity. The results demonstrated, first, that the L2TGS possessed sufficient internal-consistency reliability (ω =.77). Schmidt, Fleckenstein, Retelsdorf, Eskreis-Winkler, & Möller, 2017), this study introduces the L2-Teacher Grit Scale (L2TGS) developed to measure grit specifically among English language teachers (N = 202).
