The sentences

approached significancep = .026actually significant

As expected, while the relationship between Grit-S scores and time on both the IRAT and IRAPM approached significance ( p = .026 and .038 one-tailed, respectively), there were no relationships between Grit-S scores and Chain/Grid task scores, with correlations of 0.06 and 0.21 respectively.

failed to reach significancep = .08so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

However, while conscientiousness scores were also positively associated with scores on the IRAT, the relationship between Grit-S and IRAT persistence time was small and failed to reach significance ( p = .08).

Interestingly, only performance on the “beliefs about ability” tasks (IRAT and IRAPM) was related to an independent measure of grit, although this relationship fell just short of significance.
