The aim of this study was to analyze the predictive power of academic self-efficacy on academic self-concept dimensions in a sample of 860 Chilean students. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the academic self-efficacy was a positive and significant predictor of academic scales (Math, Verbal, and General Academic), not academic (Physical Abilities, Physical Appearance, Relationships with the Opposite Sex, Relationships with the Same Sex, Relationship with Parents, Sincerity-Veracity), and Self- Esteem scale, except for the Emotional Stability scale. The predictive value was stronger in the academic dimensions and self-esteem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
