Evasive-type
evasive-type participants (participants 2, 4, and 10) were found to
prefer a strategy to avoid conflicts without directly resolving them. In
particular, it was found that they tend to be uncertain about their
goals over time and confused about what to pursue. In the workplace,
they generally had little work experience, so they tended to change jobs
naturally without being able to adapt due to a lack of work skills. In
addition, they tended to settle for the current barren situation rather
than solve their problems constructively.
I’ve tried to find a good job by changing jobs over the years. But I
think that’s it. I’ve worked part-time at a convenience store, but I
couldn’t find anything better. The longest time I worked was a year and
a half. I want to stop now. Work and this life are so boring to me. I
don’t think I can find what I want to do right now. So I think it’s a
very confusing time for me right now. I don’t know what I want to do or
what I can do for several years already. (participant 2)
It was found that they regretted the lives of those who had not lived in
harmony with many people in Korea. And now, it seems that he has
fulfilled his will to overcome the difficulties of reality. Also, they
were found to have a position to solve their problems by marrying a
Korean or returning to their country quickly.
I’m tired now. I will go back to Vietnam and I have no intention of
coming to Korea after that. I’ve never grown attached to my job, and
I’ve only been disappointed because I suffered so much in my work life.
I’m still under stress. I don’t want to stay here another day. I don’t
know if I get married, but I want to go back to Vietnam quickly because
I feel stuffy now. (participant 4)
