Abstract

The article focuses on the relationship between grit—defined as perseverance and passion for long-term goals—and resilience, with emotional functioning in pediatric cancer survivors. In a diverse sample of 214 survivors aged 4 to 25, higher levels of grit predicted lower anxiety, depression, and sense of inadequacy, with resilience mediating the effects of grit on anxiety and depression but not on sense of inadequacy. Survivors of leukemia and brain tumors exhibited greater grit and resilience compared to those with other cancers. The findings highlight the importance of positive psychological factors in emotional outcomes for pediatric cancer survivors and suggest further research into these influences.
