The Study Of The Family Factors' Influence On Middle School Students' Self-efficacy

Self-efficacy, which was put forward by Albert Bandura in 1977, can often predict how people behave. This thesis takes the middle school students as subjects and discusses the family factors' influence on the self-efficacy of middle school students. Based on former studies, the theory model that indicates how family factors influence the middle school students' self-efficacy is set up on the whole. Then we make a further analysis and test on the model. The ONE-WAY ANOVA analysis and correlation analysis show that the factors such as country or town, family structure, family economic level, mother's education, mother's occupation, father's warmth and empathic relationship, mother's warmth and empathic relationship, mother's over-protection and over-interference and family communication have notable correlations with the self-efficacy of middle school students. Multiple linear regression analysis shows that some external factors including mother's occupation, family structure and family economic level, some internal factors such as mother's warmth and empathic relationship, mother's severe punishment and family communication have notable influence on middle school students' self-efficacy. And family economic level may also influence self-efficacy by influencing mother's parenting style and family communication.
