The current study investigates the interrelationships between grit, perceived stress and hope among research scholars of Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh (India). The sample comprised of 131 research scholars enrolled in Ph.D. (Male = 48, Female =83) of two faculties (Arts and Science). The Grit Scale (Duckworth, 2007), Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen, 1994) and The Trait Hope Scale (Snyder et al., 1991) were used for measuring the level of grit, perceived stress and hope in the sample. The scores were compared across gender and faculty. T test, correlation and regression analysis were utilized for data analysis. It was found that all the three variables were highly correlated with each other. Male and female sample did not differ significantly in their grit and perceived stress scores. However, male and female differed significantly in their hope scores. No significant difference was found across the research scholars belonging to science and arts faculty. Both grit and hope predicted stress in males while only hope emerged as a significant predictor of stress in the female sample.
