Relationship between homesickness, academic self-efficacy and academic success

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati odnos nostalgije za domom, akademske samoefikasnosti i akademskog uspjeha kod studenata. U provedenom istraživanju sudjelovao je sveukupno 151 student preddiplomskih i diplomskih studija (27 muškaraca i 118 žena) koji studira van mjesta prebivališta. U svrhu prikupljanja podataka, zadatak sudionika bio je ispuniti Utrechtovu skalu nostalgije za omom (UHS) kao i podskalu akademske samoefikasnosti iz MSLQ upitnika. Za analizu dobivenih podataka u istraživanju korišten je Pearsonov koeficijent korelacije. U skladu s hipotezama, rezultati ovog istraživanja sugeriraju umjerenu pozitivnu povezanost između akademske samoefikasnosti i akademskog uspjeha. Međutim, suprotno pretpostavkama, nije utvrđena statistički značajna povezanost između nostalgije za domom i akademske samoefikasnosti. Također, rezultati istraživanja sugeriraju kako nema statistički značajne povezanosti između nostalgije za domom i akademskog uspjeha.The aim of this research was to examine the relationship between homesickness, academic selfefficacy and academic success among students. A total of 151 undergraduate and graduate students (27 men and 118 women) studying outside their place of residence participated in the research. For the purpose of data collection, participants were asked to complete the Utrecht Homesickness Scale (UHS) as well as the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale from MSLQ. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the data obtained in the research. In accordance with the hypotheses, the results of this study suggest a moderate positive relationship between academic self-efficacy and academic success. However, contrary to assumptions, no statistically significant relationship was found between homesickness and academic self-efficacy. Also, the research results suggest that there is no statistically significant relationship between homesickness and academic success
