El objetivo de este estudio es identificar la relación de la autoeficacia académica, el apoyo social académico y el bienestar escolar con el rendimiento académico, además de comparar estas variables por sexo. Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, correlacional y transversal en el que se aplicaron la Escala de Autoeficacia en Conductas Académicas, la Escala de Apoyo Social Académico y la Escala de Bienestar en Contexto Académico. Con base en un muestreo no probabilístico de conveniencia participaron 304 estudiantes de licenciatura de una universidad del occidente de México, 175 mujeres y 129 hombres con una media de edad de 20.82 (DE = 2.46) y 21.02 (DE = 3.10), respectivamente. La autoeficacia académica, el apoyo social académico y el bienestar escolar correlacionaron significativamente con el rendimiento académico y se identificó que es menos probable lograr un rendimiento académico satisfactorio cuando se cuenta con una autoeficacia académica baja y media. Las mujeres tienen un mejor rendimiento académico y un mayor bienestar escolar con relación a los hombres. La relevancia de este estudio radica en que muestra la factibilidad para realizar intervenciones que propicien el desarrollo de la autoeficacia en estudiantes universitarios en la modalidad semipresencial.
In Mexico, healthy lifestyle has a low prevalence. The importance of a healthy lifestyle lies in avoiding the emergence of a chronic non-communicable disease. Thus, university administrative personnel are a vulnerable population due to working conditions that prevent them from having a healthy lifestyle, so it is necessary to analyze psychological variables that can explain how to promote and develop a healthy lifestyle. The purposes of this study were to identify relationships among lifestyle (LS) and positive psychological functioning (PPF) and their differences by gender in the administrative staff; a cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted. University administrative staff (n = 102), were recruited using the snowball sampling method, forming a non-probabilistic sample, completed the Fantastic Lifestyle Questionnaire and the Positive Psychological Functioning Scale. LS has a statistically significant correlation with PPF (r = .355, p = .001); in addition, it is worth pointing out that showing a low level of PPF implies a lower probability of having a healthy LS (Ψ = 28.333, 4.965 – 161.675). Results suggest the relevance of interventions to develop psychological resources in people seeking the adoption of a healthy LS.
