Self-efficacy in higher education students

Abstract

With a socio-cognitive framework, we analyze sources of General Self-Efficacy, in demographic, academic, vocational and personality variables. The sample includes 480 students of the 2nd year of psychology, health, sports, scientific-research and technology courses who answered the Questionnaire Adjustment and Adaptation to Higher Education, Scales of Development and Well-being, Career Satisfaction, General Self-Efficacy, Requirement and Responsiveness Parental. In the multiple linear regression data are explanatory variables of Self-efficacy: average access to higher education, openness to experience (experiences), well-being, career satisfaction, neuroticism (emotional states), kindness, paternal requirement (persuasion, vicarious experience), and age and gender. Implications of data on educational interventions are discussed.
