PhD student wellbeing and 'grit'
14 April 2019
The study aims to examine if there is a relationship between ‘grit’ and wellbeing in PhD students, it will also look at whether this relationship differs between Arts and Humanities, and STEM subjects. Grit is passion and perseverance in the pursuit of long-term goals and has been shown to have a positive relationship with academic success. While student well-being is know to impact academic success this study will examine wellbeing itself as a measure of success during the PhD journey.
