Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between college students’social anxiety, cognitive flexibility, and school life adaptation, and to reveal the impact of social anxiety on school life adaptation through the medium of cognitive flexibility. Methods To this end, a survey was conducted to measure social anxiety, school life adaptation, and cognitive flexibility to 374 students in the 1st to 4th grade attending six four-year universities in Gyeongsangnam-do and Busan. And for statistical analysis, SPSS 26.0 and Process Macro Model 4 were used. Results The main results of this study are as follows. First, the social anxiety of college students showed a negative correlation between school life adaptation and cognitive flexibility, and a positive correlation with school life adaptation and cognitive flexibility. Second, as a result of verifying the effect of mediation, it was found that the mediating effect of cognitive flexibility on the relation between the social anxiety and school life adaptation of college students was significant. This means that college students' social anxiety not only affects school life adaptation directly, but also indirectly through cognitive flexibility. Conclusions Based on the results of this study, it will be a basic data to increase the understanding of college students' school life adaptation, and to help college students who are unable to adapt to school due to the rapidly changing social and educational environment and personal psychological factors.
