The role of self-efficacy within the academic setting affects the “forethought, performance, and self-reflection” of college and over all adjustment. From the early phases of the college experience and throughout, students must make decisions about courses of study and career aspirations. As they make these choices, students are better able to visualize what might be a good fit for their future career goals. “The work role which we begin to envisage for ourselves at the end of childhood is, under favorable conditions, the most reassuring role of all, just because it confirms us in skills and permits us to recognize ourselves in visible works (Erikson, 1977). The present paper reviews on relation between self-efficacy and adjustment among college students.
