Abstract

<p>This study aimed to clarify the characteristics of student apathy through longitudinal studies, focusing on the emotion of apathy in college students. A total of 121 college students completed a questionnaire, using the Passivity Area scale, the Apathy scale, and the “Yutori of mind” (feeling of relaxation) scale, three times. A conditional latent curve model revealed that the decrease in academic motivation had a negative effect on mental satisfaction/openness and relaxation towards others in the intercept and had no effect on urgency/fatigue. In terms of slope, academic disengagement had no effect on either mental satisfaction/openness or urgency/fatigue. The results suggest that college students did not take the decreased motivation to learn seriously, but they did lose their mental comfort, which did not affect the subsequent increase or decrease in mental comfort. Future research should consider support based on this characteristic.</p>
