“…However, recent work has provided preliminary evidence of a negative relationship between openness and test anxiety (Kumaran & Kadhiravan, ), which may be linked to open students adopting a “growth mindset” orientation characterized by a greater tolerance toward risk. The adoption of a “challenge” interpretation in academic settings (as opposed to interpreting the event as a threat to self) provides a greater potential for the learner to engage with new academic tasks and experience success that bolsters self‐efficacy and control appraisals (Sanchez‐Cardona et al, ).…”

Cognitive test anxiety is a considerable barrier to academic success. The control value theory of achievement emotions suggests emotions within academic situations—including test‐anxious responses—follow from control and value appraisals. Furthermore, the control value theory suggests a multitude of individual‐level factors that influence appraisals. However, few investigations have explored the interactive influence of enduring personality traits and control and value appraisals on the experience of cognitive test anxiety. The current study was designed to explore the relationship among openness to experience, neuroticism, conscientiousness, control and value appraisals, and cognitive test anxiety. Participants (N = 481) completed the Big Five Inventory, the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire, and the Cognitive Test Anxiety Scale‐Short Form. Using exploratory structural equation modeling, we demonstrated that value and control appraisals were important predictors of cognitive test anxiety. Furthermore, results indicated that openness to experience was a positive predictor of value appraisals. Finally, results indicated that higher levels of control appraisals were associated with higher levels of conscientiousness and openness to experience and lower levels of neuroticism. These findings have important implications for our understanding of the determinants of cognitive test anxiety and have implications for efforts designed to identify test‐anxious students.

“…Este resultado es congruente con el modelo JD-R, de manera que los trabajadores tienen capacidades (recursos) que pueden activar como fuente de resistencia ante los acontecimientos estresantes (Baillien, De Cuyper & De Witte, 2011;Hunter, Mora & Ortega, 2004).Igualmente, los datos están en la línea de la Teoría Social Cognitiva cuando indica que las personas con elevados niveles de autoeficacia poseen confianza en sus habilidades para responder a los estímulos del medio y pueden ejercer cierto control sobre ellos (Bandura, 1997). Además, se pone de manifiesto el efecto de interacción entre demandas laborales (acoso laboral) y recursos personales (autoeficacia profesional), de manera que los trabajadores con altos niveles de autoeficacia profesional aumentarán sus conductas de afrontamiento positivas en situaciones de estrés laboral (Domenech & Gómez, 2010;Sánchez-Cardona et al, 2012). Los resultados obtenidos también se ven apoyados por otros estudios donde la autoeficacia profesional ha mostrado su relevancia como variable moderadora en los procesos de estrés y salud (Jex & Bliese, 1999;Lu, Siu & Cooper, 2005;Sonnentag & Spychala, 2012).…”

Resumen: La autoeficacia es una competencia personal que actúa frente a los estresores incrementando o disminuyendo el malestar psicológico que estos pueden generar; por su parte el acoso psicológico o mobbing es uno de los factores psicosociales del medio laboral más dañinos para la salud de los trabajadores. Utilizando como marco de referencia el modelo teórico de demandas-recursos (JD-R model), este trabajo tiene como objetivo principal analizar el papel moderador de la autoeficacia profesional entre el acoso laboral y la salud autopercibida en una muestra multiocupacional de 772 trabajadores (379 hombres y 383 mujeres). Se administró un protocolo que contenía la escala NAQ para la medida del acoso laboral, el cuestionario de salud GHQ-12 y la subescala de autoeficacia profesional del MBI. Como resultado destaca el papel moderador de la autoeficacia sobre la salud en situaciones de acoso psicológico. Se discuten los resultados de este trabajo, las limitaciones y sus posibles implicaciones en las organizaciones.

“…Some scholars found that individuals with higher scores of conscientiousness had higher self-efficacy beliefs (Brown et al, 2011). Openness shifts perceptions of demands into challenges to be tackled, broadening task engagement and self-efficacy (Sanchez-Cardona et al, 2012). Research has found that agreeableness can lead to increased self-efficacy (Caprara et al, 2010).…”

Self-control seems to be the core element for achieving optimal competitive performance, and be of great importance to well-being and healthy development of humans. According to the literature, there exist some correlations between personality traits and self-control. The aim of this study was to shed some additional light on the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and self-control in boxers and investigate self-efficacy as a mediator between the two variables. Two hundred and ten boxers (age: M = 18.89, SD = 3.83; amount of boxing practice: M = 4.93 years, SD = 3.22; 76 males) of Chinese national athletes participated the study. Results showed a pronounced level of self-control. The higher the competitive level, the higher the level of self-control. There were significant correlations among the Big Five, self-control, and self-efficacy. Self-efficacy mediated the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and self-control.
