Life is always full of hurdles and very challenging and when we set a long term goal in life and go for that it becomes very boring also. In such situation grit play a significant role and work as a weapon. Grit, basically includes consistency of interest and perseverance of efforts for long term goal. In this study we have four variables (hope, self-control, self-efficacy , orientation to happiness) that relate to gritty behavior. But the objective here is that how much these variables relate and contribute in grit among adults. For this purpose, a sample of 300 participants (aged 18-30 years) was purposely selected. The scale of Grit, Hope, Self-efficacy , Self-control and Orientation to Happiness were administered and scored as per the manual. Results found that self-control emerged as the single most potent predictor of grit accounting for 18.3% of variance while self-efficacy , hope and pleasure jointly account for 13.3% of variance.Keywords
