Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among the academic self-efficacy, interpersonal relationship and personality variables of dental hygiene students. The subjects in this study were 130 selected dental hygiene students in an urban community, on whom survey was conducted from March 10 to December 10, 2014. The collected data were analyzed by a statistical package SPSS WIN 19.0, and t-test was carried out to look for any possible significant differences according to academic achievement. As for differences in academic self-efficacy, interpersonal relationship and personality according to academic achievement, the students whose academic achievement was higher (M=3.49) had a better self-regulatory efficacy than the students whose academic achievement was lower (M=3.01), and the differences were statistically significant (t=-5.65, p<.001). The former (M=3.24) was ahead of the latter (M=3.06) in terms of integrity, and the differences were statistically significant as well (t=-2.64, p<.01). Among the subfactors of personality, integrity (β=.35, p<.05) exercised a positive influence on academic self-efficacy, and likability (β=.234, p<.05) affected interpersonal relationship. Therefore an educational program should be developed as part of non-regular education curriculum to improve the integrity and likability of dental hygiene students in consideration of their academic self-efficacy and interpersonal relationship.
