Hispanic college students attending a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) in the southwest United States were administered the short grit survey during new student orientation for 2 consecutive years (N = 496) to ascertain the association with grit scores and retention after the first year of university attendance. Results indicate that there was a gender difference in grit scores and retention. Few grit survey items were associated with retention, thus suggesting that the grit survey may not be an appropriate predictor of retention for first-generation Hispanic college students.

西班牙裔服务机构一年级西班牙裔大学生的毅力和留存率

参加美国西南部西班牙裔美国人服务机构（HSI）的西班牙裔大学生在新学生入职培训期间连续两年进行了短砂砾调查（N = 496），以确定大学第一年后与砂砾分数和保留率的关系出席。结果表明，沙砾分数和保留率存在性别差异。沙砾调查项目很少与保留有关，因此表明沙砾调查可能不是第一代西班牙裔大学生保留的适当预测指标。
