Translated title:

Effect of grit on psychological well being. The mediating role of implicit and explicit emotion regulation.

Summary:

In recent decades, focus on promoting psychological well-being and developing personal and interpersonal strengths, has been increased. One of these strengths is grit, which seems to be a predictive factor of both success (academic, professional) and psychological well-being. The present study investigates the influence of grit on psychological well-being, through the mediation of explicit and implicit emotional regulation. Four questionnaires (Grit-S Scale, Flourishing Scale, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, and Defense Style Questionnaire-40) were administrated in a sample of 459 undergraduate students (65% female) from different areas of Greece. The results suggested that grit had a medium effect size on psychological well-being, for both genders. Significant partial mediation of emotion regulation (with a small effect size) was only found in female participants. Specifically, adaptive explicit and implicit emotion regulation strategies (cognitive reappraisal, mature defense mechanisms) were found to partially mediate the relationship between grit and well-being in a positive way, while maladaptive implicit emotion regulation (immature defense mechanisms) seemed to have the opposite effect. No mediation was detected in male participants.
