- Description:
- The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-efficacy and academic performance among African-American male and female college students enrolled at a predominantly Black institution. Survey method was utilized to collect the data. Data were analyzed using the Pearson's Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient, Multiple Correlation and Student's t=Test. Results suggested that (1) there is no significant relationship between self-efficacy and GPA, (2) for males majoring in science, there was a significant relationship between the two variables, and (3) no difference was found between males' and females' self-efficacy scores. It was concluded that there are variables other than self-efficacy that influence academic performance. Further research is needed before any definitive statements can be made.
