The research questions set for this research purpose are as follows.

Second, what are the mediating effects of positive psychological capital, self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience in the relationship between academic stress perceived by high school students and maladjustment to school life? To achieve the purpose of this study, 295 high school students in Busan were surveyed, and finally, the data of 280 students were analyzed using the SPSS Ver 27.0 program. Correlation analysis was conducted to confirm the relationship between variables, and hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to verify the mediating effect of sub-factors of positive psychological capital. The results of the study are as follows: First, the relationship between academic stress and maladjustment to school life has a significant positive correlation. Second, the partial mediating effect of positive psychological capital, self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience in the relationship between academic stress and maladjustment to school life was verified. This suggests the importance of interventions for positive psychological capital and academic stress that affect high school students' maladjustment to school life. In order to prevent school life maladjustment, efforts to reduce perceived academic stress are needed, and to weaken school life maladjustment and help school adaptation, an educational environment that can lower academic stress and sufficiently increase positive psychological capital is required.
