| Abstract | A study investigated the writing self-efficacy, writing outcome expectations, writing apprehension, personal self-efficacy, and writing performance of 30 undergraduate students throughout one semester. Results indicated support for social cognitive theory and prior findings that report a relationship between self-efficacy and performance. A regression model accounted for 68% of the variance in writing performance. Writing skills self-efficacy and the pre-performance measure were the only significant predictors. Writing apprehension was negatively correlated with writing self-efficacy but was not predictive of writing performance. Personal self-efficacy was correlated with writing self-efficacy, outcome expectations, apprehension, and performance but was not predictive of writing performance in the regression model. Findings which support a significant relationship between self-efficacy and related performance suggest that academic performance in an area such as writing can be informed by exploring the confidence individuals bring to this performance.
