| 總結: | The high dropout rates and low academic performance in achievement tests of Filipino students have posed an educational crisis in the Philippines. Researchers have suggested that such problems can be addressed by increasing academic engagement. Self-control and the two-factor model of grit (passion and perseverance) were said to be factors that influence academic engagement. However, past studies on grit argue differently, especially when culture is considered. The Triarchic Model of Git (TMG) addresses this gap by adding adaptability as a factor of grit. However, TMG studies are limited, and the addition of adaptability needs further empirical support. Thus, the aim of the current study was to assess the significant unique contributions of self-control, passion, perseverance, and adaptability on academic engagement while controlling for conscientiousness. The participants of the study were 255 Filipino undergraduate students. Findings of a four-step hierarchical regression analysis showed that perseverance, adaptability, and self-control were significant predictors of academic engagement while controlling for conscientiousness. Interestingly, it was also found that the addition of adaptability in the model made self-control a significant predictor of student engagement, suggesting that adaptability and self-control have a complex relationship with each other. These findings suggest that in a collectivist society, being persistent, adaptable, and able to control oneself are important factors in increasing academic engagement.
