Abstract

This study aims to determine whether happiness and hope mediate in the relationship between growth mindset and academic achievement among Chinese college students. Data were collected through a survey targeting 337 college students purposively sampled at a university in Guangdong, China. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS PC+ Win ver. 25.0 and SPSS PROCESS macro ver. 4.2. The statistical methods applied were frequency analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and dual mediation effect analysis. The conclusion of the study is as follows. First, growth mindset, happiness, hope, and academic achievement all showed significant positive correlations. Second, college students' happiness and hope double mediated the relationship between a growth mindset and academic achievement. Based on these results, this study proposed a plan to utilize not only a growth mindset but also happiness and hope to improve the academic achievement of college students.

본 연구는 중국 대학생을 대상으로 행복과 희망이 성장 마인드셋과 학성성취의 관계에서 이중매개하는지를 확인하는데 연구의 목적이 있다. 자료는 중국 Guangdong지역의 한 대학교에서 유의표집한 대학생 337명을 대상으로 설문조사를 통하여 수집하였다. 수집한 자료는 SPSS PC+ Win ver. 25.0과 SPSS PROCESS macro ver. 4.2를 활용하여 분석하였다. 적용된 통계방법은 빈도분석, 신뢰도 분석, 상관분석 및 이중매개효과 분석이었다. 연구의 결론은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 행복, 희망, 성장 마인드셋과 학성성취 모두 정적인 유의미한 상관관계를 보였다. 둘째, 대학생의 행복과 희망은 성장 마인드셋과 학업성취의 관계에서 이중매개하였다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 본 연구는 대학생들의 성장 마인드셋뿐만이 아니라 행복 및 희망을 활용하여 학업성취를 증진할 수 있는 방안을 제언하였다.
