This study analyzes the relationship between family background, perceived self-efficacy and preparation for later life after graduation among university students in order to find out how their family background and perceived self-efficacy affect their behaviour for preparing later life after graduation, and to provide available data to be used at consultations for university students' later life after graduation.
This study raises following questions relating to the purpose of this study.
First, does family background have an influence on students' behaviors for preparing their later life after graduation?
Second, does perceived self-efficacy have an influence on students' behaviors for preparing their later life after graduation?
Third, do family background and perceived self-efficacy have an influence on students' behaviors for preparing their later life after graduation?
In this study, 454 male and female students attending "K" and "H" universities participated in a survey. They are sophomores, juniors and senior students, and the result of survey was analyzed with SPSS WIN 11.5 program.
The result of the study is as follows.
First, as a result of analysis of correlations between students' family background and their behaviors for preparing their later life after graduation, family background has a positive correlation with students' behaviors for preparing their later life after graduation, but has not a positive correlation with conflicts, their inclinations for achievement and controls.
According to a regression analysis of the relationship between family background and their behaviors for preparing later life after graduation, about 11% has an explanatory edge and when it comes to their family background, their inclination toward activity-leisure of the lower priority area of personal growth has influences on students' behavior for preparing later life after graduation. Meanwhile, other factors such as cohesive power, expressivity, conflict, independency, inclination for achievement, intellectual-cultural and moral-religious emphasis does not have positive influences. Thus, the more students' inclination toward activity-leisure, the more likely they prepare later life after graduation.
Second, according to a correlation analysis of the relationship between perceived self-efficacy and their behaviors for preparing later life after graduation, perceived self-efficacy has a statistically positive correlation with students' behavior for later life after graduation. A regression analysis shows 13.1% of explanatory edge and when it comes to student's behaviors, confidence, self-control efficacy and the degree of task difficulty among the lower priority area of perceived self-efficacy have positive infulences. The self-control efficacy is the most likely to have a positive influence, and confidence and the degree of task difficulty are followed. Thus, the more perceived self-efficacy, the more likely they prepare later life after graduation.
Third, an analysis of how family back ground and perceived self-efficacy affect their behaviors for preparing later life after graduation shows 15.8% of explanatory edge, and both factors have positive influences.
In conclusion, as students have more inclination toward activity-leisure of family, confidence, self-control efficacy and preference of more difficult tasks, they are more likely to prepare later life after graduation. Among such factors, their inclination toward activity-leisure of family and ,self-control efficacy affected their behavior the most, and confidence and preference of more difficult tasks are followed. Thus, the more favorable their family environment and the more their perceived self-efficacy, the more they are likely to prepare later life after graduation.
This study is to analyze the relationship between university students' family background, perceived self-efficacy and their behavior for preparing later life after graduation, and how these factors affect each other. It starts with a hypothesis that the more favorable their family environment and the more their perceived self-efficacy, the more they are likely to prepare later life after graduation, which is supported to some extent by the conclusion of this study. Conclusively, it is believed that at a consultation for student's later life after graduation, considering student's family background as well as his/her current situation will enhance the quality of the consultation.
