The main aim of the study was to explore the gender differences in passion, grit and mindset in a large sample. The sample consisted of 917 participants in the age range 14–77. The eight item Passion Scale was used to assess passion, and the Grit-S scale was used to assess grit. Mindset was measured with the Theories of Intelligence Scale (TIS). The scale has 8-items. The results show significant difference between female and male in the passion factor only, in favor of males. The difference was significant in 6 of 8 questions. In addition, we computed a score, PGM total score, from the averages of z-scores for the three factors, passion score total, grit score total and growth mindset score total. Here it was a significant difference between the genders in favor of the males. The results are discussed in relation to more active dopamine system in males.

该研究的主要目的是在大样本中探索激情、勇气和心态方面的性别差异。样本包括 917 名年龄在 14-77 岁之间的参与者。八项激情量表用于评估激情，而Grit-S量表用于评估毅力。心态是用智力理论量表（TIS）来衡量的。该量表有 8 个条目。结果表明，女性和男性仅在激情因素上存在显着差异，男性更受欢迎。在 8 个问题中的 6 个问题中差异显着。此外，我们根据三个因素的 z 分数的平均值计算了一个分数，即 PGM 总分，即激情总分、毅力总分和成长心态总分。在这里，性别之间存在显着差异，有利于男性。
