Abstract
GARCIA-FERNANDEZ, José Manuel et al. Relationship between self-efficacy and academic self-attributions in Chilean students. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.1, pp.79-88. ISSN 1657-9267. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy15-1.raaa.
It was analyzed the predictive ability of perceived academic self-efficacy on high academic self-attributions in a sample of 874 adolescents Chilean students. The Escala de Autoeficacia Percibida Específica de Situaciones Académicas (EAPESA) and the Spanish version of Sydney Attribution Scale (SAS) were administrated. Logistic regression analyses revealed that perceived academic self-efficacy was a statistically significant predictor of selfattributions to ability and effort, regardless of the area of knowledge. This predictive relationship was positive in successful situations, and it was negative in failure situations. Academic self-efficacy only significantly predicted self-attributions to external causes in academic success situations in the language area and the total of the scores both language and mathematics.
