Rendimiento académico, bienestar psicológico y autoeficacia académica en la universidad

Educational institutions need to understand the processes linked to academic performance at university. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship that can be identified between academic performance, psychological well-being, and academic self-efficacy amongst university students. This non-experimental and descriptive-correlational research was carried out with the participation of 667 students from Formosa, Argentina. The instruments included the psychological well-being scale for university students and the self-efficacy scale for academic performance, which were adapted and validated for this study. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between academic performance, academic self-efficacy, and two dimensions of psychological well-being, showing a predictive power for competence and academic self-efficacy.
