The purpose of the present descriptive study is to compare the profiles of perceived self-efficacy in teamwork and entrepreneurship between Health Sciences and Social Sciences university students. The total sample consists of 972 participants: 484 from the Health Sciences and 488 from the Social Sciences programs, with an average age of 18.68 years (SD = 1.52) and 18.48 years (SD = 1.26) respectively. A quantitative approach with a descriptive and transversal survey design was used. All the participants completed the Selfefficacy Teamwork and Entrepreneurship Scale. The results of the one-way multivariate analysis of variance, followed by one-way univariate analysis of variance, showed that the Social Sciences students reported statistically significant (p < .05) better perceived self-efficacy, desired self-efficacy and reachable self-efficacy in teamwork than the Health Sciences participants, while the students of health sciences are perceived with a greater possibility of improvement in their perceived self-efficacy. Regarding the entrepreneurship factor, the Social Sciences students reported statistically significant greater perceived self-efficacy, desired and reachable self-efficacy than their Health Sciences counterparts (p < .05).
Resumen El objetivo de esta investigación consistió comparar los perfiles de resiliencia de estudiantes universitarios mexicanos. La muestra consistió en 1083 sujetos; 575 mujeres y 508 hombres, estudiantes de la Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua México, con edad entre 18 y 28 años. El diseño de la investigación se realizó dentro del enfoque cuantitativo, de tipo descriptivo mediante el uso de la encuesta. Los resultados del análisis multivariante de la varianza, seguido por los análisis de varianza univariados, en los resultados se resalta que las mujeres son las que obtienen mayores niveles relacionados con la resiliencia en el factor apoyo social (F = 7.049, p < .01), mientras que los hombres lo hacen en los factores fortaleza y confianza (F = 17.213, p < .001) y estructura (F = 11.418, p < .001); y sin diferencias significativas en los factores competencia social y apoyo familiar. Estos resultados revelan que en general los hombres muestran un mejor perfil de resiliencia que las mujeres. No obstante, se recomienda el desarrollo de mayores investigaciones al respecto debido a la importancia del tema.
