elf-confidence is an essential trait that positively affects many areas of human life, including academic

and career success. Self-confidence refers to an individual's belief in his or her abilities to perform a task
successfully. In the context of academic performance, self-confidence is the belief that an individual has
in his or her ability to succeed academically. Self-confidence affects students' academic performance in
different ways, such as study habits, academic motivation, and academic achievement.

Several studies have examined the effect of self-confidence on academic performance. A study
conducted by Nwachukwu and Eze (2016) in Nigeria showed that self-confidence had a significant effect
on academic performance. Students who had high self-confidence also had high academic performance
compared to students with low self-confidence. Another study conducted by Lin and Huang (2013) in
Taiwan showed that self-confidence positively correlated with academic achievement. The study found
that students with high self-confidence tended to have better grades than students with low self-
confidence.

Additionally, self-confidence positively affects students' academic motivation. A study conducted by

Bandura (1989) found that self-confidence influences academic motivation. According to the study,
students who have a high degree of self-confidence are more likely to be academically motivated than
those with low self-confidence. This is because students who are confident in their abilities believe that
they can accomplish their academic goals, which motivates them to strive for success.

Furthermore, self-confidence influences students' study habits. According to a study conducted by

Almeida, Tavares, and Leite (2010), students with high self-confidence have better study habits than
students with low self-confidence. The study found that students with high self-confidence were more
likely to use effective study strategies, such as organizing their study material and managing their time
wisely.

In conclusion, self-confidence is an essential factor that positively influences students' academic

performance. Students with high self-confidence tend to have better study habits, academic motivation,
and academic performance compared to those with low self-confidence. Therefore, it is essential for
educators to promote self-confidence in their students to help them succeed academically. Apr 17,

You sent

Before my birthday ends, I first want to thank God for giving me people to love, care for me, and always
be there to help with things I cannot manage.

Secondly, I just want to say thank you to the people who took the time to celebrate my birthday, greet
me, and send me birthday wishes. I really appreciate it and I am at a loss for words because I did not
expect that many people would value celebrating my birthday. May God guide you and keep you happy
in your daily lives.
