Prestasi akademis merupakan salah satu komponen dari kesuksesan mahasiswa di perguruan tinggi. Penelitian ini melihat hubungan antara unconditional self-acceptance dan prestasi akademis yang dimediator oleh grit berdasarkan teori dari self-regulation. Salah satu faktor yang berperan dalam meningkatkan fungsi mahasiswa untuk mencapai prestasi akademis adalah unconditional self-acceptance. Mahasiswa yang memiliki unconditional self-acceptance yang tinggi akan berkontribusi terhadap perkembangan grit yang dimilikinya sehingga ia dapat gigih dan tetap semangat ketika ia berhadapan dengan tantangan dan kegagalan yang mungkin terjadi dalam mencapai tujuan mendapatkan prestasi akademis yang tinggi. Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan pada 306 mahasiswa yang sedang menempuh perkuliahan minimal semester 7 yang tersebar di seluruh Indonesia menunjukkan hasil bahwa grit memediasi secara penuh (fully mediated) pengaruh unconditional self-acceptance terhadap prestasi akademis (Indirect Effect = 0,0304, BootSE = 0,0151, 95% CI [0,0024 – 0,0615]).
