Brief intervention boosts grit in teenage boys, study finds
78% Informative
Researchers from Norway found that a short educational program can help teenage boys develop more grit, a trait linked to success and well-being.
A short intervention focused on building belief in one’s own abilities led to a noticeable increase in grit among male students.
This finding offers a promising and simple way to support boys in developing the mental toughness needed to overcome challenges.
The researchers found a marginally significant increase in grit for the group as a whole.
In contrast, the control group showed no significant changes in grit or growth mindset.
The researchers concluded that their short “I CAN” intervention appeared to be effective in increasing grit.
They suggested that the intervention may have successfully “turned on the switch” for these boys.
