Abstract :The current study attempted to fill the well-established research niche on the possible interrelations between three under-researched positive psychology variables: academic buoyancy, L2 grit, and foreign language peace of mind. This explanatory study examined three variables of positive psychology: academic buoyancy, second language grit, and foreign language peace of mind, concerning grade levels and gender, as well as the factors influencing potential differences. While the quantitative data were gathered from a convenience sample of 160 English majors, the qualitative data were gathered from 9 participants through videoconferencing. L2 grit and foreign language peace of mind as well as foreign language peace of mind and academic buoyancy, were found to be correlated, yet L2 grit and academic buoyancy were not correlated. Besides, grade levels rather than gender were found to predict those personality traits. The qualitative data revealed the reasons behind these physiological findings.
