Abstract


One of the driving forces for each individual in achieving success is grit. Grit is needed by every individual as their provision in facing every challenge and obstacle to achieving long-term goals. If individuals have high grit, it will be easier to face challenges in achieving success. The method used in this study was quantitative, and the research design used is a survey. The respondents in this study were 504 high school students in Bangka Belitung Province. The data in this study was collected by using Duckworth’s grit scale during the odd semester of 2021/2022 academic year. Instrument’s validity and realibility was tested by using Rasch model analyzis. The data in this study was processed using the SPSS version 22 application. Based on the results of the Mann Whitney U test with α: 0.05, the researcher found that the significance of the test was at 0.00, so it can be said that the statistical hypothesis was rejected, and the research hypothesis was accepted. It can be concluded that there is an average difference between male students' grit and female students' grit. The results of the study have implications for guidance and counseling practitioners as well as policymakers about the importance of strengthening grit in the context of education to maintain character and increase student potential.
