Self-efficacy, as defined by Bandura (1977), refers to an individual's belief in their ability to succeed in specific situations. It is a crucial psychological trait influencing motivation, performance, and coping mechanisms. Psychological well-being, on the other hand, refers to an individual's overall mental health, including emotional, social, and psychological dimensions, often assessed through Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale (Ryff, 1989). Research has shown that self-efficacy can positively influence various outcomes such as academic performance and mental health, but its specific relationship with psychological well-being among college students remains an underexplored area.
This study seeks to examine the relationship between self-efficacy and psychological well-being among college students using a sample of 400 participants. By employing correlation, regression analysis, factor analysis, and structural equation modelling (SEM), this research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these two constructs are interrelated in the context of higher education.
