Abstract: In the last decade, a very popular term “grit” which refers to a personality on perseverance appeared in the psychological field abroad. The connotation of “grit” contains two aspects. One refers to persistent efforts for alongterm goal, and the other refers to continued interest about this goal as always. As an important noncognitive personaltrait, grit is highly correlated to some individual characteristics such as selfcontrol and conscientiousness. And grit can strongly predictindividualperformance at school、in the army and on the job.Grittier individuals are more likely to have a better performance than their less grittier counterparts. In addition,grit is also highly correlated withsome positive psychological traits such as positive emotions and affections. In the end, we propose that future research probe into the concept and structure of grit, improve the measuring and research methods and broaden the relevant variables.

Key words: grit, perseverance, interest, performance
