Abstract
Abstract The current study is a reliability generalization meta-analysis of the Short Grit Scale (Grit-S). A total of 95,440 participants were found across 66 studies with 117 internal consistency coefficients. We present the average Cronbach coefficient alpha (α) for the total Grit-S and subscales, Consistency of Interest and Perseverance of Effort. The results include total sample percentages for participant characteristics and setting types in which researchers used the Grit-S. The alpha range (α = .68 − .73) indicates the Grit-S and individual subscales are suitable for basic research use but not clinical decision making. Additionally, studies were inconsistent with statistically significant results with participants outside the United States, and reliability coefficients reduced among nonwhite participants. Researchers should further study the reliability of Grit-S among diverse participants.
期刊介绍:
Counseling Outcome Research and Evaluation (CORE) provides counselor educators, researchers, educators, and other mental health practitioners with outcome research and program evaluation practices for work with individuals across the lifespan. It addresses topics such as: treatment efficacy, clinical diagnosis, program evaluation, research design, outcome measure reviews. This journal also serves to address ethical, legal, and cultural concerns in the assessment of dependent variables, implementation of clinical interventions, and outcome research. Manuscripts typically fall into one of the following categories: Counseling Outcome Research: Treatment efficacy and effectiveness of mental health, school, addictions, rehabilitation, family, and college counseling interventions across the lifespan as reported in clinical trials, single-case research designs, single-group designs, and multi- or mixed-method designs.
