Abstract

Background

Grit has been identified as playing a prominent role in the learning process. However, the development of students' grit within the family environment remains under-researched.

Aims

This study employed a longitudinal design to explore how perceived parental growth mindsets (T1) influence students' math-specific grit (T2) and examined the mediating role of growth mindset and self-efficacy; (T2) in this relationship.

Sample

The participants included 1005 secondary school students in China.

Methods

Structural equation modeling was employed to examine the relationship between parental growth mindset and children's motivational beliefs and grit. Bootstrap analysis was further conducted to assess the mediating roles of growth mindset and self-efficacy.

Results

The results demonstrated that perceived parental growth mindsets positively predicted students' growth mindsets. Consistency of interest was positively associated with self-efficacy, while perseverance of effort was positively predicted by both students' growth mindsets and self-efficacy. The results of the bootstrap analysis supported the chained mediational role of growth mindsets and self-efficacy between parental growth mindsets and students' math-specific grit.

Conclusions

Overall, this study found a positive impact of perceived parental growth mindset on children's math-specific grit and revealed the underlying mechanism by verifying the mediating roles of children's growth mindset and self-efficacy.

父母成长心态与儿童数学坚毅的纵向关系：成长心态和自我效能感的中介作用。

背景：毅力在学习过程中起着重要的作用。然而，在家庭环境中培养学生的毅力的研究仍然不足。目的：本研究采用纵向设计探讨父母成长心态（T1）对学生数学专项毅力（T2）的影响，并考察成长心态和自我效能感的中介作用；（T2）在这个关系中。样本：调查对象为1005名中国中学生。方法：采用结构方程模型检验父母成长心态与儿童动机信念、毅力的关系。采用Bootstrap分析进一步评估成长心态和自我效能感的中介作用。结果：父母成长心态感知正向预测学生成长心态。兴趣的一致性与自我效能感正相关，而努力的毅力与学生的成长心态和自我效能感正相关。自举分析的结果支持成长心态和自我效能在父母成长心态和学生数学专项毅力之间的链式中介作用。结论：总体而言，本研究通过验证儿童成长心态和自我效能感的中介作用，发现父母成长心态感知对儿童数学特异性毅力有正向影响，并揭示了其潜在机制。
