In this view, the most common approach among different authors refer to this concept as a pattern of thought, feelings, and behaviors ( Borghans et al., 2008). The variability of the terms mentioned above can be the result of the lack of a shared definition of the “non-cognitive skills” concept, including measurement problems ( Duckworth & Yeager, 2015 Fernández-Martín et al., 2018 García, 2014). A pleiad of terms like qualities, traits, non-cognitive competencies, soft skills, or life skills are interchangeably used as predictors of psychological, social, economic, and physical wellbeing ( Almlund et al., 2011 Borghans et al., 2008 Heckman & Kautz, 2012 Heckman et al., 2006 Méndez & Zamarro, 2015). Recent research findings have spurred the evidence of the so-called non-cognitive abilities as predictors of individual performance and productivity in different life domains ( Duckworth & Yeager, 2015 García, 2014). Whereas some people are steadfast in their pursuit of such goals, sometimes over years or decades, other people abandon pursuit in the face of significant challenges to the attainment of such goals ( Arco-Tirado et al., 2018). People show different patterns of behavior depending on whether they succeed or fail pursuing their long-term goals. Además, nuestros hallazgos revelan que la investigación sobre este constructo es prometedora, aunque necesita mejorar su calidad. Los resultados indican que la evidencia acerca de la eficacia de la tenacidad como predictor es en gran medida mayor que de la tenacidad como resultado. Se identificaron los siguientes temas analíticos: tenacidad como predictor del éxito educativo, profesional y personal y tenacidad como resultado del éxito demográfico, educativo, profesional y personal. La muestra final de estudios revisados fue de 90. Se adoptó un análisis del contenido narrativo para analizar los resultados. Se llevó a cabo una búsqueda sistemática de literatura en diversas plataformas y bases de datos. Se diseñó y aplicó un protocolo de revisión sistemática preespecificado para sintetizar los resultados cualitativos. Additionally, our findings unveil that research on this construct is off to a good start, even though higher-quality research is needed.ĭada la reciente importancia de las habilidades no cognitivas para obtener resultados significativos en los ámbitos educativo, personal y profesional, el objetivo de esta revisión sistemática es sintetizar la calidad de la evidencia de la tenacidad como predictor y resultado del éxito educativo, profesional y personal. The results suggest that the evidences of effectiveness of grit as a predictor are largely stronger than those of grit as outcome. The following analytical themes were identified: grit as a predictor of educational, professional, and personal success, and grit as outcome of demographic, educational, professional, and personal success. The final sample of studies reviewed was 90. A narrative content analysis was adopted to analyze the results. A systematic literature search was conducted across diverse platforms and databases. A pre-specified systematic review protocol was designed and implemented to synthesize the qualitative finding. Given the recent relevance of non-cognitive skills for consequential outcomes in the educational, personal, and professional domains, the objective of this systematic review was to synthesize the quality of the evidences on grit as predictor and outcome of educational, professional, and personal success.
