Overview

Cross-sectional study demonstrates self-efficacy mediates negative cognitive schemas and learner autonomy in language students, highlighting belief in capability as vital for independent study.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the impact of early maladaptive schemas on university students' autonomous learning and investigate the mediating role of self-efficacy in this relationship.
  • Surveyed 249 undergraduate students aged 18 to 32 enrolled at a public university in Türkiye using an online data collection protocol.
  • Administered the Autonomous Learning Scale, the Young Schema Questionnaire–Short Form, and the General Self-Efficacy Scale.
  • Performed correlational and mediation analyses to estimate direct and indirect associations.
  • Autonomous learning correlated negatively with schemas of abandonment, failure, defectiveness, submission, and dependence, but correlated positively with the high standards schema.
  • Self-efficacy significantly mediated the indirect relationships between early maladaptive schemas and autonomous learning.
