Abstract

This study sought to confirm the moderated mediating effect of positive psychological capital and the moderating effect of grit in the relationship between college students' self-leadership and college life adaptation. To this end, a survey was conducted on 325 college students attending 4-year universities nationwide, and data from 317 students, excluding 8 who did not respond or responded in bad faith to some of the questions, were used for analysis. The mediating effect analysis, moderating effect analysis, and controlled mediating effect analysis were conducted to verify the research problem, and the results of the study are as follows. First, the partial mediating effect of positive psychological capital was confirmed in the relationship between college students' self-leadership and college life adaptation. Second, grit moderated the relationship between positive psychological capital and college life adaptation. Lastly, the moderated mediation effect of grit on the relationship between self-leadership and college life adaptation through positive psychological capital was statistically significant. Based on these results, implications for treatment interventions that help students adapt to the university environment and suggestions for follow-up studies were discussed.
