Abstract
Grit, defined as patience and perseverance for long-term goals, has been explored with various traits in the past decade. The present cross-sectional study explored the level of grit in the sample along with its relationship with religiosity and emotional stability. The purposive sample included 400 adults divided into five distinct groups: medical doctors, religious scholars, civil service officers, army officers, and PhD doctors from Quetta city, Pakistan (n = 80 for each group; mean age = 32.50 years, SD = 10.51). A significant and strong correlation was found between emotional stability and grit, whereas with religiosity, grit exhibited a significant but relatively weak correlation. A one-way ANOVA was performed to analyze mean differences between sample groups, which differed significantly. Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD) test indicated that among the above-mentioned groups, PhD doctors were grittiest. Though both emotional stability and religiosity predicted grit among professionals significantly, religiosity did not mediate the relationship between emotional stability and grit. Further implications of the findings are discussed.
期刊介绍：
Pastoral Psychology, founded in 1950, is one of the most well-established and respected journals in the field of psychology and religion/spirituality. Pastoral Psychology is an international forum that publishes scholarly, peer-reviewed original articles that address varied aspects of religion and spirituality from physical, human science, and interfaith perspectives.
Historically, the word “pastoral” has referred to the care of individuals, families, and communities. Today, we additionally consider “pastoral” in terms of lived experience as it relates to embodiment, the social-political, economic, spiritual, and environmental dimensions of life.
All theoretical perspectives are welcome, as Pastoral Psychology regularly publishes articles from a variety of schools of thought, including, but not limited to, psychoanalytic and other dynamic psychologies, cognitive psychologies, experimental and empirical psychologies, humanistic psychology, transpersonal psychology, and cultural psychology. Insights from existential perspectives, intersectional theories, philosophical and theological theories, gender and queer studies, sociology, anthropology, public mental health, and cultural and empirical studies are welcome. Theoretical contributions that have direct or indirect relevance for practice, broadly construed, are especially desirable, as our intended audience includes not only academics and scholars in religion and science, but also religious and spiritual leaders, as well as caregivers, chaplains, social workers, counselors/therapists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and persons interested in matters of religion/spirituality and psychology.
Pastoral Psychology welcomes scholarship and reflection from all religious and spiritual traditions. In addition to scholarly research papers, the journal welcomes thoughtful essays on a wide range of issues and various genres of writing, including book reviews and film reviews. The community of scholars represented in its pages has demonstrated that the life challenges the journal seeks to address are universally shared, yet also reflect individual social, cultural, and religious locations. The journal, therefore, welcomes submissions from scholars from around the world.
