GONZALEZ-CANTERO, Joel Omar et al. Academic self-efficacy, academic social support, school well-being and its relation with academic performance in university students. Psicumex [online]. 2020, vol.10, n.2, pp.95-113.  Epub Mar 02, 2021. ISSN 2007-5936.  https://doi.org/10.36793/psicumex.v10i2.353.

The objective of this study is to identify the relation between academic self-efficacy, academic social support and school well-being with academic performance, as well as comparing these variables by gender. Participants were 304 undergraduate students from the Centro Universitario de los Valles, with a mean age of 20.91 years (SD = 2.74). Academic self-efficacy, academic social support and school well-being were statistically correlated with academic performance and it was identified that having low and medium academic self-efficacy represents a lower probability of achieving satisfactory academic performance. Women have better academic performance and better school well-being compared to men. The relevance of this study is that it shows the feasibility of carrying out interventions that promote the development of self-efficacy in university students in the blended mode.
