지역 대학생의 자아존중감과 대학생활적응에서 자기효능감의 매개효과 = The Mediating Effect of Self-Efficacy in the Relationship Between Self-Esteem and Student Adjustment

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between self-esteem, self-efficacy, and adjustment among university students.
Data were collected using self-report instruments in a sample of university students(N=239, 84.9% female). The instruments used were the self-esteem scale developed by Rosenberg, the self-efficacy scale developed by Sherer & Maddux, and the adjustment scale developed by Baker & Siryk. Multiple regressions analyses were conducted to identify the most significant predictors of adjustment to university.
The result of this study showed that the self-esteem, self-efficacy and adjustment to college reported significant associations. The model including self-esteem and self-efficacy explained 48.7% of variability in adjustment to university. Self-efficacy was found to play a mediating role between self-esteem and university adjustment.
These findings indicate that students’ self-esteem and self-efficacy play a crucial role in predicting how well they adapt to university life. The results suggest intriguing considerations about the importance for universities of providing interventions for students that aim to promoting academic achievement and success.
