Relații între factorii de personalitate din teoria socialcognitivă și performanța academică

Abstract

This research aimed at highlighting the relations between the academic performance of students and the scores obtained in measuring the personality factors from the social-cognitive theory namely: self-efficacy, self-esteem, locus of control, hardiness, sense of coherence and optimism. The research has been conducted on a sample of 196 participants, students of Hyperion University of Bucharest. Following the processing of the outcomes, we found that there are associations between academic performance and the personality factors: self-efficacy, self-esteem, hardiness, sense of coherence and optimism. The best predictor was self-efficacy. Between locus of control and academic performance, we have not found significant associations.
