The study aimed to examine the interrelationships between growth mindset, L2 aptitude, L2 grit, and L2 achievement, while also exploring the moderating role of gender in these interactions. A sample of 236 English-major students participated in the study by completing a language aptitude test and a questionnaire. The results of path analyses indicated that both aptitude and L2 grit similarly and positively predicted L2 achievement. The growth mindset had no direct effect on L2 achievement, whereas its indirect effects reached statistical significance. Moreover, growth mindset and L2 grit were found to be unrelated to L2 aptitude. Although female and male students did not differ significantly in their growth mindset, L2 aptitude, L2 grit, and L2 achievement scores, Multi-Group Path Analyses unveiled subtle gender differences.

该研究旨在检查成长心态、第二语言能力、第二语言毅力和第二语言成就之间的相互关系，同时也探讨了性别在这些互动中的调节作用。236 名英语专业的学生通过完成语言能力倾向测试和问卷调查参与了这项研究。路径分析结果表明，能力和 L2 毅力对 L2 成就的预测相似且正向。成长型心态对 L2 成绩没有直接影响，而其间接影响达到统计学意义。此外，发现成长心态和 L2 毅力与 L2 能力无关。尽管男女学生在成长心态、第二语言能力、第二语言毅力和第二语言成就得分方面没有显著差异，但多组路径分析揭示了细微的性别差异。
