- Abstract
The present study was an attempt to investigate the relationship between the self-efficacy and anxiety of EFL learners with different kinds of multiple intelligences. Accordingly, three questionnaires were used: the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), the Endler Multidimensional Anxiety Scales (EMAS), and the Multiple Intelligence Development Assessment Scales (MIDAS). A total of 246 undergraduate and graduate students aged 19 to 27 participated in this study. The researchers carried out a series of both descriptive and inferential statistical analyses and the results indicated that there is a positive correlation between anxiety and self-efficacy. The results also showed a significant relationship between linguistically intelligent EFL learners' self-efficacy and anxiety and that anxiety cannot be a predictor for EFL learners' self-efficacy.
