摘要

Sisu is a Finnish term loosely translated as endurance or resilience in the face of adversity. In the athleticarena, the construct of Mental Toughness (MT) similarly describes the ability of some top athletes to overcomechallenge and persist. We sought to measure sisu, or mental toughness, within an academic contextin an effort to understand if mental toughness may be one of the missing puzzle pieces in understandingindividual differences in persistence in STEM majors and careers. Exploratory factor analysis yieldedsimilar constructs underlying academic MT as compared to athletic MT. This preliminary research providesthe first step in creating a reliable and valid tool to assess MT in academics. Further research establishingthe reliability and validity of this construct is warranted given the finding that several MT factor correlationswith academic self- efficacy existed. We believe the ability to identify and quantify one’s MT willserve as an important variable in understanding individual differences in challenging situations.
