The study of grit in engineering education research: a systematic literature review
TLDR
Research on the role of grit on human performance has been conducted for the past decade as mentioned in this paper, and it has been suggested that this non-cognitive, non-self-motivated trait can be defined as perseverance and passion for long-term goals.Abstract:
Research on the role of grit – defined as both perseverance and passion for long-term goals – on human performance has been conducted for the past decade. It has been suggested that this non-cognit...read more

Much ado about grit: A meta-analytic synthesis of the grit literature.
TL;DR: A meta-analytic review of the grit literature with a particular focus on the structure of grit and the relation between grit and performance, retention, conscientiousness, cognitive ability, and demographic variables suggests that interventions designed to enhance grit may only have weak effects on performance and success.
