사회진출전환기 대학생의 탄력성 잠재프로파일 변화양상탐색

Abstract

This study was aimed to examine the changes of latent profiles in the resilience of college students in school-to-work transition. To this purpose, we used latent profile analysis(LPA) and latent transition analysis(LTA). In addition, this study examined the relationship between latent profile membership and covariates(cognitive-emotional regulation and control) by using multi-nominal logistic regression analysis. The 306 college students at Time 1, 254 college students at Time 2, and 229 college students at Time 3 participated in the current study. Adversity scale and adaptation scale were used to measure the levels of adversity and adaptation for identifying profiles. The results of the current study showed that the college students could be best described by three latent profiles at Time 1 and Time 2. At Time 3, the new type of profiles appeared. The four latent profiles were a resilient group, semi-challenged group, competent-unchallenged group, and maladaptive group. In addition, the results showed transitions of profiles. Further, the result showed that a sense of control had effects on resilient group membership across all three times. Students who had more sense of control had higher mean scores of being in a resilient group than in the maladaptive group. Based on the results of the current study, it was possible to detect the patterns of college students’ resilience in the school-to-work transition. The present study yielded implications for policy-makers and counselors to identify what kind of students are needed help and intervention programs.
