| description | The present study examines the relationship between future self-continuity (FSC) and grit in college students, focusing on the mediating role of future time perspective (FTP) and its dimensions. A survey was conducted among 389 college students from universities in Beijing and Guizhou Province using relevant questionnaires. The results show the following: (1) FSC positively predicts grit (r = 0.25, <i>p</i> < 0.01); (2) a significant mediating role of FTP was found between FSC and grit; (3) and among the dimensions of FTP, behavioral commitment and future purpose consciousness significantly mediated the relationship between FSC and grit. This study demonstrates that FSC shapes college students’ grit through the mediation of future time perspective. |
