Abstract

The present study aimed to empirically examine the validity of grit among language learners and its relation to vocabulary knowledge. Grit is defined as a trait that is characterised by a tendency to be passionate about and persevere towards the achievement of long-term goals. A newly developed questionnaire, L2-Grit Scale, which assesses perseverance of effort and consistency of interest in language learning was used. The construct validity was evaluated, and bi-factor CFA was supported. The convergent and divergent validity of the grit constructs were tested against operationalisations of related motivational constructs. The results suggest that the L2-Grit Scale is, reliable, valid and suitable for use in L2 research. With regard to predictive validity, grit has shown to have a non-significant direct effect on later vocabulary knowledge. Rather, initial grit was only indirectly associated with later vocabulary knowledge through the mediation role of later endorsement of grit.

Grit 和语言学习:L2-Grit 量表的构建验证及其与后期词汇知识的关系

摘要

本研究旨在实证检验毅力在语言学习者中的有效性及其与词汇知识的关系。毅力被定义为一种特征,其特征是对实现长期目标充满热情并坚持不懈。使用了新开发的问卷 L2-Grit 量表,用于评估努力的毅力和对语言学习兴趣的一致性。评估了结构效度,并支持双因素 CFA。毅力结构的收敛和发散有效性针对相关动机结构的可操作性进行了测试。结果表明 L2-Grit 量表可靠、有效且适用于 L2 研究。关于预测效度,grit 已表明对后来的词汇知识没有显着的直接影响。相当,
