摘要：This ex post facto research examined the mediator role of resilience in the relationship between self-determination and self-efficacy. The authors analyzed the cross-sectional data collected from a total of 302 university students. The participants answered 3 standardized questionnaires on self-efficacy, resilience and self-determination. It was found that resilience may act as a full mediator in the relationship between self-determination and self-efficacy. Findings imply that being self-determined increases self-efficacy through the mediation of resilience. Since the relationship between self-determination and self-efficacy is weak, it is noteworthy to include resilience when considering establishing such relationship between the two variables. The findings indicate a need for educators and administrators in understanding and exploring the individuality of students because these are potentially helpful bases in designing and implementing appropriate educational policies and setting overall quality learning environment. It is recommended that teaching professionals who would like to focus on increasing the self-efficacy levels of students should consider students’ perceived resilience.
