【 摘 要 】

The concept of mental toughness (MT) has garnered substantial interest over the past two decades. Scholars have published several narrative reviews of this literature (e.g., Connaughton et al., 2008; Crust, 2008; Gucciardi, 2017), yet in ~30 years of research there has been no attempt to review this body of work systematically to understand how MT is associated with hypothesized correlates. The systematic review by Lin et al. (2017) was timely for the field of MT (see also, Cowden, 2017). However, in this commentary, I explain two reasons why the conclusions drawn from this systematic review may be misleading or premature.
