The purpose of this study is to find out if individual variables, ego resilience, self-efficacy, and
perfectionism of pre-service daycare teachers can predict anxiety about reality shock after being
daycare teachers. Subjects were 176 college students in their 1st~4th year who wanted to become
daycare teachers. The data were verified by using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and
hierarchical regression analysis. The study results are as follows: First, the higher the year of school
they were in, the higher the anxiety about reality shock was. Second, there was a significant
correlation among ego resilience, self-efficacy, perfectionism, and anxiety about reality shock.
Specifically, as ego resilience and self-efficacy are lower and perfectionism is stronger, anxiety about
reality shock was found to be higher. Finally, the year of school, self-efficacy, and perfectionism of
pre-service teacher turned to be variables predicting anxiety about reality shock. Based on the
results of this study, we searched for a solution to reduce anxiety about reality shock of pre-service
daycare teachers and provide basic information that can do properly prepare future teachers.
