Abstract

This research attempted to define the role of grit, psychological hardiness, and resilience in academic engagement. Among a statistical society, 242 students were selected as a sample by a simple random sampling method. To collect data, using online social media, 5-question grit questionnaire (Dakourth, 2007), Norwegian version for the modified scale of hardiness (Hystad, Eid, Johnsen, Laberg & Thomas Bartone, 2010), resilience questionnaire (Johnsen, 2013), and academic engagement questionnaire (Rio, 2013) were employed. Obtained data of sample were analyzed by using the statistical softwares Spss &Amos and by path analysis. The results showed that Academic engagement was predicted directly by grit, psychological hardiness and resilience; According to the findings academic engagement was predicted indirectly, on the path of resilience, by grit. psychological hardiness through the mediating role of grit has also a indirect and meaningful effect on the Academic engagement .The results of the research were not confirmed indirectly on the path from psychological hardiness to academic involvement. The results indicated that 16% of academic engagement was explained, through grit, psychological hardiness, and resilience. Also, the variables for grit and hardiness explained 28% of academic engagement by resilience.
