Abstract/Summary

Previous literature have shown that individuals may handle academic failure or shortcomings as it is attributed to one's academic self-concept, and self-forgiveness. Grit, which is defined as the perseverance of effort, is deemed to influence the relatioship between academic self-concept and capability to reach self-forgiveness. A survey questionnaire was administered to Filipino college students residing in Metro Manila. It consists of the following scale: academic self-concept scale, state of self-forgiveness scale, and grit scale for children and adults. Results showed that academic self-concept is correlated to grit and self-forgiveness, while grit and self-forgiveness showed no correlation at all which is consitent with past studies. A moderation analysis showed that grit is low predictor of the relationship between academic self-concept ad self-forgiveness. Consequently, grit does not weaken or stregthen the relationship between one's academic self-concept and one's ability to achieve self-forgiveness. It may then be implied that grit is a better moderator for other variables.
