Relationship Between Character Strengths and Self-efficacy and Its Educational Implications
Self-efficacy plays an extremely important role in individual's mental health and personal development.By exploring the relationship between college students'character strengths and self-efficacy,new paths to enhance self-efficacy can be explored from a positive psychological perspective.A total of 349 college students are used to investigate the general self-efficacy scale and character strengths assessment questionnaire.It has been found that 24 character strengths are significantly positively correlated with general self-efficacy(r=0.25-0.61,P<0.001).Multiple regression analysis finds that insight,creativity,leadership,self-discipline,and judgment could significantly predict general self-efficacy positively(multiple regression coefficient β=0.095,0.147,0.091,0.049,0.055).It indicates that cultivating and enhancing the strengths of insight,creativity,leadership,self-discipline,and judgment can effectively enhance the general self-efficacy of college students.
