Abstract
This study examined the role of psychosocial factors in academic self-efficacy among students enrolled in a general education Introduction to Psychology course. In the regression model, intrinsic value and enjoyment of competition emerged as positive predictors of academic self-efficacy. Stress, contentiousness and test anxiety were significant negative predictors.
