Abstract

This study sought to determine the effects of empathetic ability on resilience in college students majoring in beauty. To that end, from March 1 to April 30, 2019, a survey of 389 college students majoring in beauty in colleges in the Gyeonggi area was conducted. The students' empathetic ability showed an overall high level in the order of empathetic concern, acceptance of viewpoints, personal pain, and imagination. Meanwhile, their resilience showed a high level in the order of self-control, interpersonal ability, and positive questions. Students generally showed higher levels of empathy ability and resilience in the first year than the second year, and it was also found that the higher their satisfaction with the school and department was, the higher their empathetic ability and resilience were. Regarding the correlation between the sub-factors of empathetic ability and resilience, empathetic concern, acceptance of viewpoints, and imagination had a significant positive correlation, and personal pain had a significant negative correlation. This suggests that the sub-factors of empathetic ability all had effects on resilience, and indicates a need to revise the curriculum aimed at improving this ability since resilience improves according to the improvement of empathy.
