다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to examine the optimism and self-efficacy of college students who received Brain Education training. Thirty-three college students who received Brain Education training for more than one year at training center in 20 cities in South Korea served as the experimental group. Forty-two college students received Brain Education training two hours every week for 14 weeks at a college in Cheonan served as the comparative group. Fifty-five college students who had not received any Brain Education training from two colleges in Seoul and in Daejeon served as the control group. Optimism was measured using a redesigned version of Scheier, Carver & Bridge`s LOT-R (Revised Life Orientation Test). Self-efficacy was measured using a self-efficacy test developed by Young-Min Lee, Ralf Schwarzer & Mattisa Jerusalem. PASW (Predictive Analytics SoftWare) ver. 18.0 and ANOVA (Analysis Of Variance) were used to analyze the results of the experiment. The results of this study are as follows: First, the experimental group who participated in Brain Education training showed a statistically significant difference in optimism compared to the comparative and the control groups. There was no statistically significant difference between the comparative group and the control group. Second, the experimental group who participated in the Brain Education training did not show a statistically significant difference in self-efficacy compared to the comparative and the control groups. The results suggest that Brain Education training can contribute to optimism in college students. This optimism may help college students cope with their psychological maladjustment and job stress and have a positive expectation and hope for the future.
