Resumen:

This longitudinal study explored the dynamic relationships among self-efficacy, academic buoyancy, and L2 grit in the context of English as a foreign language (EFL) learning. A total of 250 Chinese undergraduate students from diverse academic backgrounds participated in 2 waves of data collection, spaced 6 months apart. Using cross-lagged structural equation modeling, the study revealed that: (1) self-efficacy at Time 1 statistically predicted academic buoyancy at Time 2, but academic buoyancy at Time 1 did not statistically predict self-efficacy at Time 2; (2) academic buoyancy at Time 1 statistically influenced L2 grit at Time 2, while L2 grit at Time 1 also statistically influenced academic buoyancy at Time 2; (3) L2 grit at Time 1 statistically affected self-efficacy at Time 2 and, conversely, self-efficacy at Time 1 also...

Resumen:

This study investigates the relationship between subjective well-being (SWB) and second language (L2) writing achievement (WA), focusing on the sequential mediating roles of L2 writing enjoyment (L2WE) and L2 writing self-efficacy (L2WS). A sample of Chinese university EFL learners (n = 322) participated in a survey measuring SWB, L2WE, L2WS, and L2WA. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to test the hypothesized chain mediation model. Results revealed that SWB was positively associated with both L2WE and L2WS, which in turn significantly predicted L2WA. Although the direct effect of SWB on L2WA was non-significant, the total indirect effect via L2WE and L2WS was significant. Specifically, L2WE mediated the link between SWB and L2WA, L2WS mediated the link between SWB and L2WA, and a sequential mediation pathway (SWB → L2WE...
