Abstract

Given the importance of personal efficacy beliefs in the cognitive development of people and their marked influence on emotional and behavioral reactions experienced especially in difficult situations, the objective of this study is to analyze the predictive capacity of perceived self-efficacy on anxiety school in a sample of 1284 Chilean high school students, 634 boys and 650 girls (49.4% and 50.6% respectively) aged between 14 and 18 years (M = 15.43, SD = 1.24). For this, the perceived self-efficacy with the Scale of Specific Perceived Self-Efficacy of Academic Situations (EAPESA) and school anxiety with the School Anxiety Inventory (IAES) was evaluated. Logistic regression analysis revealed that low scores on perceived academic self-efficacy predict high anxiety, revealing the influence of perceived self-efficacy on school anxiety. From these results, it is possible to anticipate that the improvement of the expectations of self-efficacy would increase the probabilities of diminishing the high levels of anxiety in the students.
