Social Relationships and Well-Being01:30

Social Relationships and Well-Being

410
The significance of social relationships in psychological well-being is a well-established area of inquiry within social psychology. Research consistently demonstrates that the presence of meaningful, supportive relationships enhances emotional health, while the absence or deterioration of such connections can contribute to psychological distress. Relationships serve as a foundation for emotional support, identity, and social belonging, all of which are critical to an individual’s overall...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.9K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

383
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Psychological Responses to Stress01:20

Psychological Responses to Stress

837
Psychological responses to stress encompass the various cognitive and emotional reactions individuals experience when faced with challenging or threatening situations, such as a job loss. Prolonged exposure to stressors can disturb emotional balance, increasing negative emotions (e.g., anxiety and sadness) and diminishing positive emotions (e.g., joy and satisfaction). These persistent emotional shifts are associated with an increased risk of both physical illness and mental health issues, such...

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

208
Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem:...

Traits, Mood, and Subjective Wellbeing01:22

Traits, Mood, and Subjective Wellbeing

365
Subjective well-being (SWB) refers to an individual's self-evaluation of their overall life satisfaction, happiness, and fulfillment. This multifaceted construct is typically assessed by analyzing the balance of positive and negative emotions alongside perceptions of life satisfaction. Personality traits such as neuroticism and extraversion are strongly associated with variations in SWB, offering critical insights into the underlying mechanisms of emotional well-being.
Neuroticism and...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • Self-efficacy beliefs are crucial for student success.
  • Well-being at school is a key factor in academic engagement and achievement.
  • Understanding the interplay between self-efficacy, well-being, and engagement is vital for educational interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the effects of academic and social self-efficacy on students' well-being, academic engagement, and achievement.
  • To investigate the mediating role of well-being at school in the relationship between self-efficacy and outcomes.
  • To test a theoretical-conceptual model using structural equation modeling.

Main Methods:

  • Correlational study involving 284 Year 11 secondary school students.
  • Utilized structural equation modeling to analyze the proposed theoretical-conceptual model.
  • Measured academic self-efficacy, social self-efficacy, well-being at school, and academic engagement.

Main Results:

  • Structural equation modeling provided moderate support for the hypothesized model.
  • Academic and social self-efficacy beliefs were interdependent in their influence on well-being at school.
  • Both well-being at school and academic engagement partially mediated the impact of self-efficacy on academic engagement.

Conclusions:

  • Academic and social self-efficacy are significant predictors of student well-being and engagement.
  • Well-being at school and academic engagement act as crucial mediators in the self-efficacy-achievement pathway.
  • Findings support the development of educational and social interventions targeting self-efficacy and well-being.
