고등학생의 사회적 지지와 진로태도성숙의 관계에서 학업적 그릿의 매개효과

초록

This study aims to examine the mediating effect of Academic Grit on the relationship between Social Support and Career Attitude Maturity among high school students. The high school years are a critical developmental stage for career exploration and future planning, during which adolescents experience various stressors, including academic pressure and difficulties in making career decisions. Accordingly, career development needs to be understood from a multidimensional perspective that considers the interaction between students’ social environments and academic characteristics. Data were collected from 419 first- and second-year high school students in the Gyeongnam region. Structural model fit was evaluated using SPSS and AMOS, and the mediating effect was tested using the bootstrapping technique. The structural model demonstrated an acceptable level of fit. The findings showed First, Social Support had a significant positive effect on Academic Grit and Career Attitude Maturity. Second, Academic Grit had a significant positive effect on Career Attitude Maturity. Third, a significant partial mediating effect of Academic Grit was identified in the relationship between Social Support and Career Attitude Maturity. These results suggest that Social Support enhances students’internal strengths, particularly Academic Grit, thereby promoting more active and mature career development. Accordingly educational practice should not be limited to providing career information alone but should incorporate strategies aimed at strengthening students’academic grit to effectively foster career attitude maturity.
