Unlike general education, beauty majors are not a process of naturally acquiring new knowledge, but a process that requires active knowledge acquisition. In order to prepare for career and employment, it is essential to acquire skills through long-term practical education. It is an important factor in how to manage psychological factors in this process. The purpose of this study is to present an educational direction for achieving long-term goals and to provide academic data for career counseling by verifying the mediating effect of grit in the relationship between the mindsets of college students majoring in beauty on learning flow, self-efficacy, and career preparation behavior.
For empirical research, 439 copies of the questionnaire were used as the final analysis data for college students majoring in beauty, and frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, and mediating effect verification were performed using the SPSS 23.0 program.
The results and conclusions of this study are as follows.
First, as a result of examining demographic characteristics, women, junior colleges, first graders, and hair majors were the most common., and the most desired career after graduation was in the beauty industry (salons).
Second, when examining the dimensions of variables, mindset was extracted as two factors: "growth mindset" and "fixed mindset," learning flow was extracted as two factors: "action commitment" and "cognitive commitment," self-efficacy was extracted as two factors: "confidence" and "self-regulation," and career preparation behavior was extracted as a single factor, and grit was extracted as two factors: "interest" and "effort."
Third, as a result of analyzing the correlation between each variable, it was found that there was a significant correlation between factors such as mindset, learning flow, self-efficacy, career preparation behavior, and grit.
Fourth, growth mindset was found to have a positive (+) effect on learning flow (action commitment, cognitive commitment), self-efficacy (confidence, self-regulation), career preparation behavior, and grit (interest, effort).
Fifth, a fixed mindset was found to have a positive (+) effect on behavioral commitment and grit (effort, interest). However, it was found that it did not affect cognitive commitment, self-efficacy, and career preparation behavior.
Sixth, as a result of verifying the mediating effect of grit in the relationship between mindset, learning flow, self-efficacy, and career preparation behavior, it was found that all had mediating effects.
Through the results of this study, it was confirmed that there is a mediating effect of grit in the relationship between mindset, learning flow, self-efficacy, and career preparation behavior. Although studies on mindset and grit are underway, studies on college students majoring in beauty are insufficient, so this study can be a useful basic data for grasping the psychological characteristics of beauty students and suggesting educational directions that help them achieve their goals continuously, and it is judged that continuous activities should be carried out to strengthen grit and present guidance plans according to the mindset of students majoring in beauty.
First, it is necessary to revitalize programs such as after-school activities, major club activities, and collaboration systems with other departments that students can feel motivated and accomplished by themselves because growth mindsets are important factors in enhancing learning achievements, processes, and learning performance activities toward goals.
Second, the belief that one's abilities do not change becomes less active in the activities of concentrating and planning in learning and finding one's career path, and if persistence to achieve long-term goals is strengthened, positive results can be achieved. Therefore, the professor is believed that students can achieve their goals and psychological guidance that students can achieve their goals, and psychological maps that students can be carried out together in long-term learning process.
Third, since the mediating effect of grit has been verified, it is necessary to improve grit. In order to improve the driving force and motivation of beauty students, it is necessary to develop an educational program that can support a leading learning environment, present a goal for growth along with setting long-term goals and setting long-term goals. In addition, it is necessary to actively support activities that can hear and experience practical growth processes, difficulties, and ways to overcome through seminars, interview programs, and special lectures by field practitioners who are active in the field.
The limitations of this study and suggestions for further research are as follows.
First, it can be seen from the results of previous studies and this study that the psychological factors of students are important due to the nature of the beauty major that requires a long period of training. Therefore, it is expected that research on psychological factors for beauty majors will be actively conducted in the future.
Second, this study was conducted with all students majoring in beauty. Subsequent studies will be a useful study by teaching data developing data development and academic data that can identify the psychological factors that can identify psychological factors of students' psychological factors that can identify the psychological factors.
