Academic Grit, Growth Mindset, Social Support, Narrative SynthesisAbstract
This study synthesizes empirical evidence regarding factors influencing the academic grit of students living away from home (migrant students), based on research available in educational psychology literature. Method: A narrative review was conducted using Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Sinta, PubMed, and Semantic Scholar. The search was performed in June 2026, covering publications from 2016 to 2026. Eligible studies examined academic grit among students, specifically those living away from home. A narrative synthesis was performed by identifying recurring patterns across the studies. Results: The academic grit of students living away from home is influenced by interacting factors spanning personality, social, contextual, and motivational dimensions. Self-efficacy, social support, a growth mindset, self-regulation, and hardiness were consistently associated with higher levels of grit in these students. Conclusion: Academic grit among students living away from home results from the interaction between individual internal resources and the challenging context of living away from home. Practical implications include the need for support programs that foster self-efficacy and build social communities, as well as psychological interventions that support the perseverance and consistency of students' academic interests
