'Reply to Guo et al
Jachimowicz and colleagues reply to letters about their earlier work on grit. They had proposed that evidence linking grit and performance is mixed because the Grit-S scale captures only perseverance, while the definition of grit includes both perseverance and passion. Their studies found that perseverance combined with passion, measured separately, predicted higher performance. Two letters suggested treating the scale as reflecting two factors and analysing each separately, and the reply addresses that suggestion.
