A Psychometric Investigation of the Short Grit Scale with a Sample of School Counselors
Mullen, Patrick R.; Crowe, Allison
Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v51 n3 p151-162 2018
We examined the psychometric properties of the Short Grit Scale with a sample of school counselors. The confirmatory factor analysis resulted in a modified 2-factor solution and internal reliability estimates were satisfactory. Furthermore, participants' grit inversely correlated with their stress and burnout. We discuss the implications of these findings.
