| Summary: | Grit is beneficial for our well-being. Participating in performing arts influences child development; however, its relationship with grit is still unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the causal relationship between childhood performing arts experience and grit. To examine this relationship, an Internet survey was conducted in 2020, 2021, and 2022 among individuals aged 20–69 years living in the western part of Japan. The survey contained questions about childhood out-of-school activities, along with 12-item scale questions to assess grit (N = 2841). Multiple regression, propensity score matching, and survival analyses were conducted to validate three hypotheses. The results indicated statistically positive effects of performing arts experience on grit. This highlights that performing arts experience can impact one’s life through non-cognitive skills; thus, it is important to provide lasting opportunities for every child. |
