Path analysis was used to test the influence of math self-efficacy and general mental ability on the math problem solving performance of 329 high school students. A model that also included math anxiety, gender. and math level accounted for 60' - 70 of the variance in performance. Ability and self-efficacy had strong direct effects on performance. Ability also had a strong direct effect on self-efficacy, which mediated the indirect effect of ability and level on performance. Self-efficacy had a strong direct effect on anxiety, which had a weak direct effect on performance. Although girls and boys did not differ in self-efficacy, girls reported higher anxiety. Most students were over confident about their math capability. Results support the hypothesized role of self-efficacy in Bandura's (1986) social cognitive theory.
