The Relationship That Generalized Self-Efficacy, Racial Identity, and Self-Esteem Have on African American College Students' Academic Achievement
Abstract
In this research, generalized self-efficacy, self-esteem, and racial identity are examined to discover the nature of the relationship that these variables have with academic achievement. This study focused on whether or not generalized self-efficacy, self-esteem, and racial identity have a significant, negative, or positive relationship with academic achievement. In addition, there were 114 participants from Tennessee State University, a historically Black university, that were used to help solidify the findings of this study. The current study found that none of the independent variables share a relationship with academic achievement. However, the variables do prove to have a positive relationship with academic achievement.
