An Exploration of the Mathematics Self-Efficacy/Mathematics Performance Correspondence
Copyright policy )An Exploration of the Mathematics Self-Efficacy/Mathematics Performance Correspondence
This study investigated the relationship between mathematical performance and mathematics self-efficacy, attitudes toward mathematics, and the choice of mathematics-related majors by 153 college women and 109 college men. Mathematics performance was correlated moderately with mathematics self-efficacy. No support was found for Hackett and Betz's (1981) hypothesis that women's mathematics self-efficacy expectations are unrealistically low compared to men's. Both mathematics performance and mathematics self-efficacy were significantly and positively correlated with attitudes toward mathematics, masculine sex-role orientation, and a mathematics-related major. Regression analyses supported the superiority of mathematics self-efficacy over mathematics performance and achievement variables in predicting the choice of a mathematics-related major.
