Abstract
This study examined the mediating effects of social support on the relationship between self-efficacy and adjustment to university life. Data were collected from 202 university students attending K university in Jeonbuk province using self-reported questionnaires from April 1 to 30, 2017. The demographic characteristics, self-efficacy, social support and adjustment to university life were analyzed by descriptive statistical analyses. The difference in adjustment to university life by demographic characteristics was analyzed by the t-test and ANOVA with Scheffe's post hoc test, while the correlation between variables was measured using Pearson's Correlation Coefficient. The mediating effects of social support were determined by the 3-step multiple regression method developed by Baron and Kenny, and the statistical significance of the mediating effect was measured using the Sobel test. Social support had a partial mediating effect in the relationship between self-efficacy and adjustment to university life. The results of this study will be useful a basic data for the development of a program to enhance self-efficacy and social support systems.
