This study has a cross-sectional design. The sample was composed of 258 university students recruited from three academic areas. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate regression analyses were performed. Significant bivariate analysis showed a significant inverse correlation between self-efficacy and state anxiety (r = -0.340) and trait anxiety (r = -0.466). In addition, a direct correlation was found between self-efficacy and the coping strategies of problem-solving (r = 0.312), emotional expression (r = 0.133), cognitive restructuring (r = 0.195), social withdrawal (r = 0.103), and coping with a situation (r = 0.303), as well as with the emotional intelligence dimensions of emotional clarity (r = 0.397) and repair mood (r = 0.347). Multivariate regression analysis showed that trait anxiety, problem-solving, emotional expression, social withdrawal, and emotional clarity were significantly related to the dependent variable, predicting 39% of total variance on levels of general perceived self-efficacy. In conclusion, this paper contributes to a better understanding of the related factors to general perceived self-efficacy in undergraduate students.enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/academic performancecoping strategiesemotional intelligenceself-efficacyuniversity studentsresearch article31447720open access10.3389/fpsyg.2019.01689PMC6692438https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2019.01689/pdfhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6692438/pdf
