由于自我效能感信念有助于决定个体对挑战情境的反应，我们探讨了难民经历对效能感信念的影响及其对重新安置的贡献。一般自我效能（GSE）对186名重新安置的阿富汗和库尔德难民的一系列个人和时间变量进行了评估。虽然GSE在时间因素上没有差异，但自我效能感、较低的心理困扰和较高的主观幸福感之间存在显著的关系。研究结果表明，GSE与心理健康和福祉呈正相关，是一个值得在难民中进一步研究的变量。除了确保有利的英语学习环境外，还应鼓励积极主动的就业策略。建议进一步研究成功的难民角色榜样，以促进自我效能，增强学习动机，并确保新抵达的难民将重新安置视为挑战，而不是威胁。
As self efficacy beliefs help determine an individual’s response to challenging situations, we explored the impact of the refugee experience on efficacy beliefs and their contribution to resettlement. General self efficacy (GSE) was assessed in 186 resettled Afghan and Kurdish refugees against a range of personal and temporal variables. Although no differences in GSE in relation to temporal factors were noted, significant relationships between self efficacy, lower psychological distress and higher subjective well being were evident. The findings suggest that GSE, because of its positive association with mental health and well being, is a variable worthy of further examination in refugees. In addition to ensuring a supportive environment for learning English, proactive employment strategies should be encouraged. Further research examining the use of successful refugee role models to promote self efficacy, enhance motivation for learning and ensure newly arrived refugees view resettlement as a challenge, rather than a threat, is recommended.
