Psychometric Validation of a Chinese Grit Scale in Chinese Parents
Recent studies have associated parental grit with a range of desirable psychological and parenting-related outcomes, such as parental emotional exhaustion and parenting goals. However, within the Chinese context, the assessment and study of parental grit remain in a nascent stage. To contribute to advancing this field, this study evaluated the psychometric properties of a Chinese Grit Scale (CGS)—a general measure of trait-level grit—in a sample …
Investigating the Effect of Gratitude on the Relationship Between Parenting and Grit
Grit denotes an individual's passion and perseverance to accomplish a long‐term goal despite obstacles and challenges. It has been consistently supported by its beneficial effect in promoting students’ educational, developmental, and psychological outcomes. Yet less is known about how to shape and foster grit from parents’ perspectives and the mechanism underlying this process. To fill this gap, we adopted a sociocultural view of grit and conduct…
Longitudinal Impact of Parenting on Grit
Despite previous research demonstrating the importance of positive parenting in fostering adolescents' grit levels, very little is known about the longitudinal pathway and underlying mechanism of this relationship. Therefore, we conducted a three‐wave longitudinal study over 18 months among a sample of Chinese adolescents. Guided by the bioecological model of human development, the internal working model, and the broaden‐and‐build theory, we test…

Parent–child discrepancies in mate preferences
Through the lens of evolutional psychology, mate preferences are posited into a three “G” framework (good genes, good resources, and good persons/parents/partners) that captures genetic quality, resource acquisition, and personality and caregiving qualities. Previous research acknowledged that adult children had different mate preferences from their parents, but had no consensus on how such differences existed in certain mate characteristics. Thi…
An Examination of the Conceptual Structure of Long-Term Goal Striving
Long-term goal striving has been recognized as an important stage in goal achievement. Compared with the development of measurements of goal setting, researchers tended to measure goal striving in different manners. This study examined the conceptual structure of goal striving and validated a new scale to operationalize the construct within academic learning contexts. A 25-item scale was validated with 522 Chinese university students to assess it…

Qualitative Exploration of Chinese Students’ Perspectives on Long-Term Goal Striving
Many scholars have emphasized the role of passion and effort in successfully achieving goals, but others have argued that many factors can affect goal achievement. This qualitative study explored Chinese students’ perspectives on how one achieves long-term goals. We conducted individual, in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 13 Chinese university students to capture their past experiences of and perspectives on pursuing long-term goals. A new…
Family Interaction and Depressive Symptoms in Chinese Emerging Adults
In this study, we investigated the relations between family interaction, gratitude, and depressive symptoms among Chinese emerging adults. It also investigated gratitude as a mediator in the relation between family interaction and depression. Data were obtained from 321 college students who completed the online questionnaire about the Family Assessment Instrument, Gratitude Questionnaire, Patient Health Questionnaire, and demographic information.…
