중학생의 완벽주의와 학업적 그릿의 관계: 실패마인드셋의 매개효과

초록

The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of adolescents’ perfectionism on academic grit and to verify the mediation effect of the failure mindset in the relationship between middle school students’ perfectionism and academic grit. For doing this, 299 middle school students responded to the questionnaire consisting of the multidimensional perfectionism scale, the academic grit scale, and the failure mindset scale. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 24.0, and the research results are as follows. First, it was confirmed that self-oriented perfectionism positiively correlated with both failure-is-enhancing mindset and academic grit. Socially prescribed perfectionism negatively correlated with both failure-is-enhancing mindset and academic grit. Second, it was found that self-oriented perfectionism directly impacted academic grit. Meanwhile, it was identified that through failure mindset, self-oriented perfectionism did not have an indirect effect on academic grit. Third, it was found that socially prescribed perfectionism did not directly affect but indirectly influenced academic grit through failure-is-enhancing mindset. It is important that this study expanded the range of the research on describing the relation between adolescent’s perfectionism and academic grit. Also, this is significant that the direction of intervention in educational treatment, which can be applicable by not only adolescents suffering from academic difficulties due to their tendency to perfectionism but educators who educate them, was suggested.
