The present study aimed to investigate the associations between self-esteem and academic self-efficacy among Chinese college students. Descriptive statistics showed that on average, students' academic self-efficacy experienced a downward trend in the first 3 years before rising slightly in the graduation year, and that male students had higher academic self-efficacy than females in the first 2 years, whereas female students' academic self-efficacy surpassed their male counterparts in the latter years. There were significant, positive associations between the two variables. With cross-lagged analysis, we found that students' self-esteem significantly predicted their subsequent academic self-efficacy from the freshman to the junior years, and the effects among male students endured longer and stronger. Implications of the findings were discussed.
本研究旨在探讨中国大学生自尊与学业自我效能感之间的关联。描述性统计显示，平均而言，学生的学业自我效能感在前三年呈下降趋势，在毕业年份略有上升，且在头两年男生的学业自我效能感高于女生，而在后期女生的学业自我效能感超过了男生。这两个变量之间存在显著的正相关。通过交叉滞后分析，我们发现从大一到大三，学生的自尊显著预测了他们随后的学业自我效能感，且对男生的影响持续时间更长、强度更大。研究结果的意义也进行了讨论。
