the mediating effect of growth mindset in the relationship between employment stress and happiness in 364

mediation effect analysis were performed using SPSS Win.21.0 and PROCESS macro for SPSS version 3.2.

growth mindset and grit. Employment stress was negatively correlated with happiness, growth mindset,
and grit. In addition, the grit of college students moderated the relationship between employment stress and
happiness via the growth mindset.
