Abstract:
This study examined the relationships between ethnic identity, collective
self-esteem and academic self-efficacy among students at a higher
learning institution. These relationships were examined among a sample
of 144 respondents. The multigroup ethnic identity measure, the collective
self-esteem scale and the academic self-efficacy scale were used to
measure ethnic identity, collective self-esteem and academic self-efficacy,
respectively. Positive correlations were found between ethnic identity and
academic self-efficacy, collective self-esteem and academic self-efficacy,
as well as between ethnic identity and collective self-esteem.
