In 1992 I received a major in neurobiology at Harvard University. She graduated from the University of Oxford with a master's degree in 1996. In 2006 I received a neuroscience with the Marshall scholarship, and I got a doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania. In psychology. [2] [1] She received a MacArthur genius scholarship in 2013.

Her first book "Grit: Passion and Perseverance" was released in May 2016. It was published in the best selling list of the New York Times for over 20 weeks. The New York Times commented on the book that Dakworth is a psychologist who used "gravel" as a dominant buzzword in the world of educational policy. [Four]

Duckworth is known for his study of gravel, which she defines as passion and perseverance for long-term goals in particular. Gravel is related to personality characteristics of long-standing due diligence, but predicts that certain results are beyond the scope of due diligence. She learned that courage is a common factor among the high achieveers who studied. When it comes to the result of the corresponding life, it is proved that gravel is at least as important as IQ and socio-economic status.

Grits have been studied throughout the lifecycle, but Duckworth focuses on how to build it to help teenagers. [5] This is a category of character education, not just a cognitive factor, but an exercise to expand school education. To achieve this goal, psychologists are increasingly paying more and more attention to initiating 'wise intervention', touch-sensitive interaction, virtuous circle and transcending interactions. Science has not kept pace with demand; So far, there has been no scientifically proven method to cultivate the courage of the school. [7]

Since the launch of the ESSA (Every Student Success Act) in 2015, there is increasing demand for effective ways to evaluate the superiority of personality. Nevertheless, Duckworth himself remains cautious when applying, especially when testing the role in the classroom. [9] One reason is that existing measures are designed for scientific purposes, so there is currently no reliable way to measure courage in high risk situations such as college entrance or job seeking. [Ten]

The grit goes beyond the scientific literature, beyond what Duckworth himself said. For example, there is also a claim that focusing on gravel may lead to the ignoring of other important factors such as positive socio-economic preconditions needed to deploy it. [11] For her, Duckworth acknowledges the importance of environmental factors, saying it is not as important as anything else, but says that they are all important. Sexual barriers: The deepest meaning is both important, more importantly they are intertwined. "[12]

Angela Duckworth, professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, documented the importance of grit in business success. In her book "Toughness: Perseverance and Passion", Duckworth analyzed the high achievement from commercial and sports circles to military and spelling bees and discovered that low talent ranking is a predictor of success .

Trying to acquire new skills and knowledge in unfamiliar territory may be difficult for most people but learning and accompanying success never happens without overcoming this psychological barrier.
