The relationship of self-efficacy and resilience with academic engagement: the mediating role of psychological hardiness

This study examines the interplay between self-efficacy, resilience, academic engagement, and the mediating role of psychological hardiness among a sample of 182 students at the Islamic Azad University of Bandar Abbas. Furthermore, the study explores the potential mediating role of psychological hardiness in this relationship.

The research investigates the extent to which students' beliefs in their capabilities (self-efficacy) and their ability to adapt and rebound from challenges (resilience) relate to their active participation and involvement in academic activities (academic engagement). Data were collected through self-report questionnaires measuring self-efficacy, resilience, psychological hardiness, and academic engagement. Statistical analyses, including correlation and mediation analyses, were conducted to uncover the complex interactions among these variables.

The findings shed light on the pathways through which self-beliefs and psychological strengths influence students' academic engagement.

This research contributes to our understanding of the psychological factors that impact students' academic experiences and outcomes.
