  • Research Coordinator Job in University of Pennsylvania Psychology lab

Grit is the tendency to sustain interest in and effort toward very long-term goals (Duckworth et al., 2007). Self-control is the voluntary regulation of behavioral, emotional, and attentional impulses in the presence of momentarily gratifying temptations or diversions (Duckworth & Seligman,2005; Duckworth & Steinberg, in press). Currently, they have a research coordinator position open for recent graduates. For more information, please click on the following link:
