Today is our first post!
Part of Dr. Rocha’s research includes studying the construct of grit. First, why is it important to foster grit?
Researchers compared well-being to grit and found that grittier individuals were more optimistic (Datu et al., 2016; Sheridan et al., 2015), had higher life satisfaction (Datu et al., 2016; Singh & Jha, 2008), higher job satisfaction (Meriac et al., 2015), less work burnout (Salles et al., 2014) and less su***de ideation (Kleiman et al., 2013; Reed et al., 2012).
Stay tuned for differentiating grit, resilience, and perseverance. We’ll also include exercises and interventions to increase a sense of grit and resilience. (Pro tip: some of it has to do with holistic wellness practices and positive relationships)
