The Effect of College Life Adaptation on Career Decision-Making Attitudes among International Students: A Focus on Beauty Majors

This study analyzed the effects of college life adaptation on career decision-making attitudes among international students majoring in beauty. A survey was conducted with 185 students, and the data were examined through factor analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. The results showed that college life adaptation was structured into four factors—major satisfaction, school satisfaction, educational satisfaction, and peer relationship satisfaction—while career decision-making attitudes consisted of major relevance, motivation for major choice, and job values. Regression analysis indicated that school satisfaction most strongly influenced major relevance, major satisfaction influenced motivation for major choice, and peer relationship satisfaction influenced job values, with educational satisfaction showing significant effects across all factors. These findings suggest that college life adaptation plays an important role in shaping the career decision-making attitudes of international beauty-major students.
