Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of academic self-efficacy on test anxiety among higher vocational students, as well as the role of sense of life meaning, fear of failure, and gender difference in mediating this relationship.

Methods: A total of 2231 higher vocational students from Shandong Province were surveyed by means of Academic Self-efficacy Questionnaire, Meaning in Life Questionnaire, and Test Anxiety Scale.

Results: There were significant negative correlations among academic self-efficacy, sense of life meaning, and test anxiety. Fear of failure was positively correlated with test anxiety. Sense of life meaning and fear of failure played a mediating role in the relationship between academic self-efficacy and test anxiety. The chain mediating effect was significant only in the female group, not in the male group. In contrast, academic self-efficacy indirectly predicted test anxiety by the independent mediating effect of sense of life meaning or fear of failure in the male group.

Conclusion: Academic self-efficacy may influence test anxiety through the independent mediating effect of sense of life meaning, fear of failure, and the chain mediating effect, and there is a gender difference in these effects.

学业自我效能感对高职院校学生考试焦虑的影响：链式中介效应

研究目的本研究旨在探讨学业自我效能感对高职学生考试焦虑的影响，以及人生意义感、失败恐惧和性别差异在这一关系中的中介作用：方法：采用学业自我效能感问卷、人生意义问卷和考试焦虑量表对山东省2231名高职学生进行调查：结果：学业自我效能感、生活意义感与考试焦虑之间存在明显的负相关。对失败的恐惧与考试焦虑呈正相关。人生意义感和失败恐惧在学业自我效能感和考试焦虑之间起着中介作用。链式中介效应只在女性组中显著，而在男性组中不显著。相反，在男性组中，学业自我效能感通过生活意义感或失败恐惧的独立中介效应间接预测了考试焦虑：结论：学业自我效能感可能会通过生命意义感的独立中介效应、对失败的恐惧以及连锁中介效应来影响考试焦虑，而且这些效应存在性别差异。
