Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate modulating effects of growth mindset in the relationship between victimization by school violence and school class adjustment.

Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, correlation analysis and moderating regression analysis were conducted for data analysis.

Major results are as follows. First, there was a clear difference in school violence victimization by gender, school level, and academic achievement. Also there was a clear difference in school class adjustment according to school level, family form, economic level, and academic achievement. Second, growth mindset and the school class adaptation showed a statistically significant correlation. However, these variables showed negative correlation with school violence. Third, moderating effect of the growth mindset between school violence victimization and school class adjustment was verified.

Proposals for youths who were unable to adapt to school class due to school violence victimization were presented.
