Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the relative levels of grit and their relationship with potential dropping-out and university adjustment of foreign students in Korea. The subjects of this survey were gathered through purposive sampling, and 335 subjects were collected from university students in South Korea. First, the grit was significantly and positively correlated with emotional adjustment, social adjustment, university satisfaction, and academic adjustment, and was negatively correlated with potential dropping-out of university. Drop-out potential is negatively and significantly correlated with all subgroups of university life adjustment. Second, the grit is higher than the mid-point and drop-out potential is very low. Emotional adjustment and university satisfaction are the highest among the subgroups of university life adjustment but social adjustment is the lowest among them. Third, it was found that foreign students in the mid and high grit clusters are lower in mean drop-out potential rates than those in the low grit cluster. And foreign students in the mid and high grit clusters are higher than those students in the low university life adjustment group.

이 연구는 한국 유학생의 grit 수준과 잠재적 중도탈락 및 대학생활적응과의 관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 연구의 대상은 335명의 한국에 있는 유학생이었다. 첫째, grit는 잠재적 중도탈락과는 부적 상관관계를 보였고, 정서적응과 사회적응, 대학생활 만족 및 학업적응과는 정적 상관관계를 보였다. 둘째, grit는 중간 점수보다 높았고 잠재적 중도탈락은 매우 낮았다. 정서적응과 대학만족은 대학적응보다 높았으나 사회적응은 하위 영역 중 가장 낮았다. 셋째, grit 수준이 높고 중간인 군집이 낮은 군집보다 잠재적 중도탈락은 낮았으나, 대학생활적응의 전체 하위영역은 높았다. 끝으로 유학생의 대학생활 적응을 위한 제언을 하였다.
