The role of parenting behavior’s on the intergenerational covariation of grit Fernández Martín, Francisco Domingo Arco Tirado, José Luis Grit Intergenerational covariation Parenting Personality trait Young adults Funding for open access charge: Universidad de Granada/CBUA This work is an outcome of the EU-funded collaborative research project "Cultural Pathways to Economic Self-Sufficiency and Entrepreneurship" (CUPESSE; Grant Agreement No. 613257; www.cupesse.eu). This study evaluates parental grit’s covariation with offspring grit and the moderating role of different parenting behaviors using an 11-country study of young adults between the ages of 18 and 35 (n = 20,008) and their parents (n = 5945). Results show that parental grit is associated with offspring’s grit with moderation of parenting present across the models presented. The study also highlights the direct association of various parenting dimensions with grit, especially the positive relation of parental control. These results have important implications for understanding young people’s grit development and learning mechanisms. Findings can serve as foundations for effective intervention programs and practices in this field designed to improve enthusiasm, interest, capacity for hard work, engagement, and motivation in the long run. 2022-06-08T06:41:45Z 2022-06-08T06:41:45Z 2022-05-18 journal article Fernández-Martín, F.D...
