Abstract

This study aims to explore the patterns of change in positive psychological capital among underprivileged adolescents who transition from middle school to high school. Using latent transition analysis, this study investigated the profiles of positive psychological capital among adolescents during their transitions from a longitudinal perspective. Subsequently, the random forest algorithm was employed to identify the factors influencing the transition patterns of positive psychological capital profiles. A total of 250 adolescents were utilized and they answered questions regarding positive psychological capital during the 1st and 2nd years of a the mentoring program provided by the Samsung Dream Scholarship Foundation. First, the positive psychological capital profiles consisted of three profiles for grade 9 and four profiles for grade 10. Second, it was found that variables such as goal orientation, attitudes toward learning, and career planning had a significant impact on maintaining a positive psychological capital profile. The results of this study could serve as foundational data for understanding the changes in positive psychological capital. Additionally, this could contribute to the development of differentiated educational programs and support initiatives aimed at enhancing positive psychological capital. Furthermore, the study underscored the need for systematic support in improving positive psychological capital from a long-term perspective.
