“…As explained, various studies show a positive correlation between subjective well-being and other variables such as self-concept, and self-efficacy ( Huebner, 1991 ; Harter, 1998 ; McCullough et al, 2000 ; Luján, 2002 ; Gutiérrez and Gonçalves, 2013 ). Literature has also suggested that self-efficacy may mediate the relations between subjective well-being and other constructs such as meaning in life, life satisfaction and self-concept ( Krok and Gerymski, 2019 ). In the case of native-born students, the results controlled by gender assume a direct relationship between academic self-concept and subjective well-being; however, general self-efficacy also presents a mediational role.…”

“…However, there is still a lack of studies of this nature in Chile. In the same line, literature has reported that self-efficacy would play a mediational role between subjective well-being and other constructs such as meaning in life, life satisfaction and even personality traits such as extraversion and openness ( Krok and Gerymski, 2019 ). To the best of our knowledge the relations between self-concept and subjective well-being have been widely described but no contribution has been made regarding the mediational role of self-efficacy between these two constructs (see Figure 1 ).…”

In the last decade, the migrant population in Chile has substantially increased, where the rates have not only increased in the adult population, but also among children and adolescents, creating a potential for social and cultural development in the educational system. The present work analyzes the relationship between self-concept, self-efficacy, and subjective well-being in native and migrant adolescents in Santiago de Chile. The sample consisted of 406 students, 56.65% women, with an age range that fluctuated between 12 and 16 years, with an average of 13.36 years (SD = 0.96). Student’s t-tests were used to compare the average of the constructs evaluated between natives/migrants and boys/girls participants. Subsequently, two multivariate models of simple mediation were constructed, one for natives and another for migrants, which assumed subjective well-being as a dependent variable, academic self-concept as an independent variable and the general self-efficacy as a mediating variable. In both models, gender was considered as a control variable. Results show that migrant students present higher levels of academic self-concept and general self-efficacy than native students. There are no differences with regard to well-being. In the case of gender, differences are observed only for the case of general self-efficacy, where boys present higher levels. On the other hand, a partial mediation is observed for the model of native students and a total mediation for the model of migrant students. The study yielded interesting results regarding the differences in the evaluation of the constructs of self-concept, self-efficacy, and subjective well-being in both groups. Such data can be used as inputs for the development of public policies for adolescents.

“…According to the research of Krok and Gerymski (2019), the sense of self-efficacy is also a partial mediator (positive influence) in the relationship between the meaning of life and life satisfaction. Studies carried out by Słupiński and Kałużny (2016) indicate that a sense of self-efficacy and a sense of location of control can have an impact on the choice of style of coping with a difficult situation -the stronger the sense of self-responsibility, the less willingness to react with anxiety and applying failure protection strategies.…”

The Sense of Self-Efficacy of Teachers Working in Special Schools – A Research Communiqué

The article presents the results of research on the sense of selfefficacy of teachers working in schools that are an integral part of social rehabilitation and educational centres (for children and young people at risk of social maladjustment and the socially maladjusted) and penal institutions. The main aim of the research was to search for predictors of the sense of self-efficacy of teachers in special schools. The theoretical basis of the research was the theory of social learning by A. Bandura. The research was conducted with the use of a research tool -the "Sense of Efficacy Test" by Chomczyńska-Rubacha and Rubacha. It has been found that the sense of self-efficacy of special school teachers depends on their gender, place of residence, level of education of their mothers and the type of centre in which they are employed. Cluster analysis made it possible to distinguish two independent groups of teachers who achieve high and low scores in terms of the sense of self-efficacy, and to construct a model explaining their assignment to the groups.

“…Researchers noted a mediating role of self-efficacy between meaning in life and subjective well-being [ 35 , 36 ]. We wanted to check whether we would be able to observe the same relationship in the case of psychological well-being.…”

“…People with a low level of self-efficacy may have difficulty perceiving their life as understandable, and thus have a lower sense of well-being [34]. Researchers point to the mediating role of self-efficacy between meaning in life and well-being; however, previous studies have focused on the hedonic, not the eudemonic, approach [35,36]. Due to the relationships between meaning in life, well-being, and self-efficacy, as well as due to the fact that this study is a designed intervention focused on difficult and stressful everyday events, we decided that it is worth considering self-efficacy in our research.…”

In recent years, the issue of the meaning in life has aroused particularly great interest in researchers considering the question of whether and how, using simple interventions, outside the therapeutic office, the sense of meaning in life and well-being can be strengthened. The aim of this study was to explore whether interventions based on reflection on everyday, stressful situations can contribute to fostering the sense of meaning in life and psychological well-being among emerging adults. Additionally, we aimed to explore relationships between the above-mentioned constructs and self-efficacy. The research focuses on emerging adults, who, as statistics show, are the most vulnerable among all adults to various mental problems. A pretest–posttest control group design was used. The study involved 80 emerging adults (56 women and 24 men) who were randomly assigned to the experimental group, which completed specially prepared diaries for a week, or the control group. Participants completed the Meaning in Life Questionnaire, the Generalised Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Ryff Scales of Psychological Well-Being twice. In the experimental group, significant differences were noted between pretest and posttest in psychological well-being, especially in the area of relationships with others (Mpretest = 59.3; Mposttest = 65.07; t(39) = −11.40; p = 0.001) and purpose in life (Mpretest = 54.85; Mposttest = 58.21; t(39) = −3.15; p = 0.003), as well as self-efficacy (Mpretest = 28.06; Mposttest = 29.60; t(39) = −2.82; p = 0.007). There were no differences in the level of meaning in life. The analysis carried out showed that self-efficacy mediates the relationship between presence of meaning in life and psychological well-being (the Aroian test: z = 4.48; SE = 0.11; p = 0.0007).
