A Closer Look at College Students: Self-Efficacy and Goal Orientation

Peggy (Pei-Hsuan) Hsieh, Jeremy R. Sullivan, and Norma S. Guerra

Self-efficacy and goal orientation differences were examined using two distinct student groups: 52 college students in good academic standing (GPA of 2.0 or higher) and 60 college students on academic probation (GPA of less than 2.0). Results indicated that self-efficacy and mastery goals were positively related to GPA and performance-avoidance goals were negatively related to GPA. Students in good academic standing reported having higher self-efficacy and adopted significantly more mastery goals toward learning than students on academic probation. Among students who reported having high self-efficacy, those on academic probation reported adopting significantly more performance-avoidance goals than those in good academic standing.
