Popis: The purpose of this study is to compare female and male college students’ academic self-efficacy. The overall sample consisted of 1,995 participants, 862 women and 1,133 men, all freshman students at the Universidad Autonoma de Chihuahua (Autonomous University of Chihuahua). The average age is 18.18 years (SD= 0.68). This quantitative study has a survey-type, descriptive design. Differences found between men and women regarding their perceived self-efficacy, suggest that any effort to improve perceived self-efficacy must take gender into consideration.
