Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the mediation effects of grit and emotions in the relationship between passion and performance in university dance classes and to test invariance in the structural model across dance careers. 446 dance students (82 males, 364 females) completed an questionnaire about their passion for dance, grit, emotions, and performance. Data were conducted via descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis, correlations, structural equation modeling, and multi-group analysis to rest the study hypotheses. Results of a series of structural equation modeling analysis and indirect effect test showed harmonious passion was positively linked to dance performance through the mediating roles of grit and positive emotions, that obsessive passion was linked to dance performance through the mediating roles of grit and positive emotions. Also dance students’grit and negative emotions were not mediated the relationship between two types of passion and dance performance, but two different types of passion had directly impact on grit. Results of a multi-group structural equation modeling showed the structural relationships among the study variables were variant across dance careers. These results suggest that both types of passion, grit, and positive emotions are factors enhancing dance students’class engagement and academic achievement. Future research is needed to investigate a mediating and moderated effects of self control, emotional regulation, mindsets, and basic psychological needs on dance students’performance.
