A Correlational Study on the Relationship between Self-Efficacy and Academic Resilience among Postgraduate Students.

Abstract

The study titled “A Correlational study on the Relationship Between Self-efficacy and Academic Resilience Among Postgraduate Students,” explored the connection between self-efficacy and academic resilience in postgraduate students. It also evaluated the levels of self-efficacy and academic resilience, along with any gender differences in those areas. The research followed a descriptive survey design. For the sample we drew 214 postgraduate students from jammu district using random sampling. Data was collected using General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) along with Academic Resilience Scale (ARS-30). For analysis, Mean, Standard Deviations, Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation and Independent Samples t-tests are used, results showed postgraduate students with moderately high self-efficacy (M = 30.57, SD = 4.963) And strong academic resilience (M = 112.76, SD = 17.094). The results showed a significant positive link between self-efficacy and academic resilience (r = .508, p < .01**). Students who felt more confident in their abilities generally proved more resilient in university. This means gender didn't make a difference for either measure, no significant gaps in self-efficacy (t = -0.836, p > .05**) or academic resilience (t = -0.098, p > .05**).
