Abstract

This study set out to organize and apply a group program designed to resolve the psychological career barriers of university freshmen and test its effects on their psychological career barriers, self-efficacy in career decision-making, and self-determination. For this purpose, the investigator divided the subjects into a treatment group of eight and a comparison group of nine, implemented a group program designed to resolve psychological career barriers over seven sessions, and applied no treatment to the comparison group. In an effort to examine the program's effects, the investigator conducted tests on psychological career barriers, self-efficacy in career decision-making, and self-determination in the pre- and post-test both in the treatment and comparison groups and examined the differences between them. The findings were as follows: first, the treatment group made a significant decrease to its psychological career barriers scores compared to the comparison group; second, the treatment group made a significant increase to its self-efficacy in career decision-making scores compared to the comparison group; and finally, the treatment group also made a significant increase to its self-determination scores compared to the comparison group with a significant enhancement. That is, the program was effective for lowering the psychological career barriers of university freshmen and improving their self-efficacy in career decision-making and self-determination. The study also discusses the utilization of its findings and future study.

본 연구는 대학 신입생이 느끼는 심리적 진로장벽 해소를 위한 집단프로그램을 구성하여 적용하고, 심리적 진로장벽, 진로결정 자기효능감과 자기결정성에 미치는 효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 처치집단에 8명, 비교집단에 9명을 할당하여 처치집단에는 7회기에 해당하는 심리적 진로장벽 해소 집단프로그램을 실시하고 비교집단에는 아무런 처치를 하지 않았다. 프로그램의 효과를 알아보기 위해 처치집단과 비교집단 각각 사전검사와 사후검사로 심리적 진로장벽, 진로결정 자기효능감, 자기결정성검사를 실시한 후 사전 사후 차이 검증을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 첫째, 심리적 진로장벽점수는 비교집단에 비해 처치집단의 점수가 유의하게 낮아진 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 진로결정 자기효능감점수는 비교집단에 비해 처치집단의 점수가 유의하게 향상된 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 자기결정성점수는 비교집단에 비해 처치집단의 점수가 유의하게 향상된 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 본 집단프로그램은 대학 신입생의 심리적 진로장벽 인식을 낮추고 진로결정 자기효능감과 자기결정성을 향상시키는 데 효과가 있었다. 본 연구결과의 활용과 향후 연구에 대해 논의하였다.
