Perseverance

This article presents a model of perseverance and a categorisation of strategies that individuals can use to persist longer when facing adversity.

It combines control theory and appraisal theory to form a dynamic model that describes goal pursuits over time. Perseverance is enhanced when new attempts to remove the adversity involved can be conceived, when the issues are re-framed, when the goal is modified, or when the ability to deal with adversity is improved.

A range of strategies are outlined and illustrated by means of the biography of James Dyson, Against All Odds.
