| Abstract |
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether ego-resilience significantly predicted critical thinking dispositions, learning styles, and academic adjustment among college students.
Methods
The data was collected from Dec. 16,2008 to Feb. 10,2009. The subjects were 548 college students in 6 cities in Korea. To determine the most effective variable of ego-resilience to critical thinking dispositions, learning styles, and academic adjustment, data was analyzed by canonical correlation using SAS 9.1 TS.
Results
Canonical correlation analysis revealed that the confidence among 4 sub-domains of ego-resilience made the most outstanding contribution in predicting disposition of critical thinking. An optimistic attitude was the most outstanding contribution in predicting both learning styles and academic adjustment.
Conclusion
The results suggest that the development of ego-resilience for undergraduate students is important for improving disposition of critical thinking, a positive learning style, and academic adjustment.
Especially confidence and optimistic attitudes should be included in structuring the nursing education system. |
