Abstract: In this study, we aimed at exploring whether future time perspective and achievement motivation could mediate the association between growth mindset and college students' grit. We used the Growth Mindset Scale, Future Time Perspective Questionnaire, Grit-12 and Achievement Motivation Scale to survey 548 college students from 2 universities in Shandong Province. The results indicated that:(1) there is a significant positive correlation between future time perspective, growth mindset, girt and achievement motivation; (2) the growth mindset could exert effects on girt indirectly not only through future time perception and achievement motivation solely, but also through the chain mediating effect of future time perception and achievement motivation.

Key words: growth mindset, future time perspective, achievement motivation, grit, serial mediation
