Description
This research study examines the relationship between COVID-19 pandemic-induced social isolation, self-efficacy, and academic outcomes among students at San Jose State University.
Using survey data from a sample of students, the study found that social isolation negatively impacts self-efficacy among students, leading to a decline in confidence and belief in their abilities to succeed academically. In turn, self-efficacy was found to be positively related to academic outcomes, as students with a strong sense of self-efficacy were more likely to perform well academically. The study also found that the negative relationship between social isolation and academic outcomes was less pronounced among students with high levels of self-efficacy.
