    Abstract

    In this study, the positive self-efficacy of college students did not differ according to major field, but there was a significant difference according to grade and gender. The positive social well-being of college students did not differ according to grade, but there was a significant difference according to major and gender. Sophomore year students showed the highest positive self-efficacy, whereas freshman year students showed the lowest positive self-efficacy. The positive social well-being of college students in the business studies department was the highest, while the college students in the humanities and social studies departments had the lowest positive social well-being. In addition, male students showed higher positive self-efficacy and social well-being than female students. Therefore, it is suggested that customized educational activities should be provided according to the characteristics of the students.
