| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to examine the role of the cognitive strategies of defensive pessimists, that is, college students who recognize positive past experience but have low expectations for future outcomes and strategic optimists, college students who acknowledge generally positive past experiences and expect positive outcomes in the future, in college students' academic performance. The findings indicated that defensive pessimists and strategic optimist's processes that led to the academic achievement were different. It was shown that a defensive pessimist used a lot of meta-cognition strategy and using the meta-cognition strategy led to a high academic achievement. In contrast, it was clarified to the academic achievement not to influence it in the strategic optimists. For strategic optimist, it was suggested that it tended the academic achievement high because there was a lot of study time.
