A Primary Study On Personal Strivings Of College Students

Personal strivings is a individual goal-oriented model in which the individual is currently trying to do. This research takes undergraduates as subjects, and conducts a systematic study on the content, characteristics and its influencing factors of personal strivings. In addition,it try to explore the way to improving student' personal strivings. It is very important for enriching the research content of personality theory and advantaging the development of students.Based on overviews of former research and open-ended questionnaire, this study puts forward its own theoretical hypothesis, and forms undergraduates' personal strivings questionnaire, then using it to research the development of undergraduates' personal strivings by testing 403 undergraduates, and explore ways to improve the level of personal strivings by experiment.Several significant conclusions were drawn as following:(1)According to the theoretical concept, through the exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, the structure of undergraduates'personal strivings is a four-factor model containing health strivings,scholastic strivings,relation strivings,control strivings.(2)The self-made"Personal Strivings Questionnaire"has good reliability and validity. It can be used as an evaluation tool for measuring undergraduates'personal strivings.(3)Generally, the level of medical personnel's work engagement was over the average scores, but it is uneven development among the factors.(4)Aspect of gender is not significant different, but girls' score of difficulty dimension are higher than boys',girls' score of important dimension and probability dimension are higher than boys', and girls' score of previous achievements dimension are lower than boys'.Aspect of classes are significant different,the junior's score are higher than others,and the freshmen'are lowest.Aspect of majors are also significant different,the student major in science are higher than ones major in technology and liberal art.(5)The case study reports that influencing factors of undergraduates' personal strivings focus on value and difficulty, and then execution of plan is influenced by habits and companions' behaviour(6)The outer supervision and model demonstration can improve the self-control of students,and increase level of personal strivings.
