Angela Duckworth's Research Lab

Angela Duckworth's Research Lab studies the role of perseverance and passion—collectively called grit—in achieving success. The lab explores how qualities like resilience, self-control, and sustained effort influence learning, performance, and long-term goals. By examining psychological traits, educational methods, and real-world behaviors, the lab aims to identify factors that help individuals overcome challenges and maintain motivation over time. Their work informs practices in education, personal development, and organizational leadership, emphasizing that sustained dedication often outweighs innate ability in reaching meaningful accomplishments.
