ABSTRACT

Resumen Con el objetivo de explorar las relaciones entre la autoeficacia académica y la ansiedad, como inciden te crítico, el presente estudio descriptivo-correlacional incluyó una muestra de 310 estudiantes (183 mujeres y 127 hombres), quienes respondieron a la Escala de Autoeficacia en Conductas Académicas (EACA), la Escala de Ansiedad ZUNG y el Inventario de Ansiedad Estado-Rasgo (IDARE). La prueba de Pearson indicó una correlación positiva significativa entre las puntuaciones de autoeficacia percibida, deseable y alcanzable en EACA, pero una correlación negativa con el índice de mejora de la misma prueba; es decir, los puntajes de autoeficacia percibida, deseable y alcanzable se com portan de manera similar; pero, a medida en que los puntajes de estos tres indicadores disminuyen, la puntuación del índice de mejora es mayor. Por lo tanto, la autoeficacia percibida se tomó como el principal indicador de EACA, la cual se correlacionó inversamente con los puntajes de las escalas de ZUNG e IDARE; es decir, cuanto menor es la autoeficacia percibida mayor es el nivel de ansie dad. En un segundo análisis, un criterio arbitrario permitió definir tres rangos de puntuaciones en autoeficacia percibida: baja (puntuación 1-7.4), intermedia (puntuación 7.5-8.9) y alta (puntuación 9.0-10.0). Un ANOVA de dos vías indicó que los estudiantes, con niveles de autoeficacia percibida baja, obtuvieron los niveles de ansiedad más altos con la conocida tendencia del género femenino a desarrollar mayores puntajes de ansiedad. En conclusión, los estudiantes con baja autoeficacia perci bida manifiestan ansiedad en el momento de la prueba. Permanece pendiente la exploración de una relación causa-efecto.


Abstract: With the aim of exploring relationships between academic self-efficacy and anxiety, as critical incidents, this des criptive study included a sample of 310 students (183 women and 127 men). Volunteers responded to the Self-efficacy in Academic Behavior Scale (EACA), ZUNG anxiety scale and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). A correlation analysis was performed between the different levels of perceived, desirable, achievable self-efficacy and an improvement index with anxiety indicators. A Pearson analysis indicated a moderate but significant positive correlation among perceived, desirable, and attainable self-efficacy scores in the EACA test, but a negative corre lation among these three indicators and the same test's improvement index. In other words, perceived, desirable, and attainable self-efficacy scores tabulated similarly, but as the scores of these three indicators rose, the score of the improvement index declined. Therefore, the perceived self-efficacy was taken as main indicator of EACA. The perceived self-efficacy correlated inversely with the scores obtained on ZUNG and STAI scales, i.e., as lower the perceived self-efficacy, the higher the level of anxiety. In second analyses, an arbitrary criterion allowed the esta blishment of three ranges of perceived self-efficacy scores into low (score 1-7.4), intermediate (score 7.5-8.9) and high (score 9.0-10.0). A two-way ANOVA indicated that students in the low range of perceived self-efficacy also scored the highest anxiety levels, with the well-known trend of feminine gender to express high levels of anxiety. In conclusion, students with low perceived self-efficacy are also anxious at the moment of the test, leaving for the future an exploration of a cause and effect relationship.
