Abstract

College self-efficacy is an important factor to be considered in the first year of college because it can determine student persistence and success. College self-efficacy is defined by Solberg et al. (1993) as a college student’s level of confidence in their competency to complete college-related tasks. This study investigated the relationship between self-compassion and college self-efficacy among first-year college students in Indonesia. Self-compassion entails being kind and warm to oneself. Pearson’s correlation was used to analyze the relationship between self-compassion and college self-efficacy. Among 213 total participants in this research, 157 were female students and 56 were male students, aged 18–21. The Self-Compassion Scale and modified College Self-Efficacy Inventory were completed by participants. A significant relationship was observed between self-compassion and college self-efficacy among first-year college students (r = 0.498, p < 0.001). Therefore, high self-compassion reflects high college self-efficacy among first-year college students.
