Analysis of self-efficacy and resilience as determinants of psychological well-being in situations of psychological stress in students

Abstract

High psychological pressure is often experienced by students in academic and social environments, potentially reducing their psychological well-being. Self-efficacy and resilience are known as two factors that can help improve students' psychological well-being when facing psychological pressure. This study aims to analyze the influence of self-efficacy and resilience on psychological well-being in students who experience high stress. The design of this study is quantitative, using a survey approach, and it involved 112 students from Soegijapranata Catholic University Indonesia who were selected using the purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through a questionnaire that measured three main variables: self-efficacy, resilience, and psychological well-being. The data was analyzed using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) to determine the contribution of each independent variable to psychological well-being. The results of the analysis showed that self-efficacy had a significant positive influence on psychological well-being, meaning that the higher the level of self-efficacy of students, the better their psychological well-being. In addition, resilience has also been proven to contribute positively to improving psychological well-being, so students with good adaptability tend to experience higher psychological well-being even amid heavy psychological pressure. This research underlines the importance of developing self-efficacy and resilience to improve students' psychological well-being in the academic environment.
