Summary Excerpt Details

Filial piety is the core value in Chinese culture. This value influences Chinese students to have high academic achievement. Unfortunately, students with low academic self-efficacy should motivate themselves to study. There were few researchers to examine the relationship between filial piety, self-efficacy and motivation.

The present research explores and examines the model of these three variables. 285 participants have been invited to finish the questionnaire. AMS-C28 motivation scale, MJSES self-efficacy scale and filial piety belief scale have been used in the study. The results show that filial piety correlates to academic self-efficacy and academic motivation directly. Also the results confirm the idea that filial piety is importance to Chinese student in learning.
