The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of basic psychological needs and growth mindset on the academic grit of beauty major students at universities and to provide foundational data for achieving positive academic goals in the university education environment for beauty majors. The survey period was from April 1, 2024, to April 26, 2024, and a survey was conducted on beauty major students at universities in the Seoul and Gyeonggi areas. After distributing a total of 350 questionnaires, 27 were excluded due to insincere responses, and the final 320 were used for analysis. The collected survey data were analyzed using the SPSS 24.0 program. As a result of the analysis, First, the demographic characteristics of the survey subjects showed that the majority were female college students or graduates majoring in hair, aged 19 to 29. Second, the two factors of academic grit, ‘Passion/Interest Maintenance Grit’ and ‘Perseverance Grit’, are explained by the two factors of basic psychological needs, ‘Relationship Need’ and ‘Autonomy/Competence Need’. A positive relationship was found where higher levels of academic grit were associated with higher levels of basic psychological needs. These results indicate that basic psychological needs positively affect the academic grit of beauty major students. Third, the ‘Passion/Interest Maintenance Grit’ factor of academic grit was positively associated with the ‘Growth Failure Mindset’ and ‘Growth Mindset’ factors of growth mindset, while the ‘Fixed Mindset’ factor of growth mindset was negatively associated with the ‘Passion/Interest Maintenance Grit’ factor. The ‘Perseverance Grit’ factor was found to increase only when the ‘Growth Failure Mindset’ factor was high. The conclusion of this study is that basic psychological needs and a growth mindset positively impact the academic grit of beauty major students in college. This conclusion can serve as useful data for exploring ways to improve the academic achievement of beauty major students and emphasize the importance of recognizing the significance of goal-setting and the perseverance needed to achieve these goals. An educational environment that promotes basic psychological needs and a growth mindset can strengthen students’ intrinsic motivation and support continued learning participation and achievement. Additionally, beauty majors, with their focus on practice-oriented education and the development of creativity and technical skills, can benefit from learning strategies tailored to these unique characteristics. Therefore, this study is believed to provide foundational data on the academic and practical significance of helping beauty major students achieve their aspirations with high academic grit and work as beauty professionals.
