The objective of this research was to compare the profiles of perceived academic self-efficacy among male and female university students. The total sample was 2,089 individuals: 902 females and 1,187 males who were first-semester undergraduate students at Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua, with an average age of 18.23 (DE= 0.74). The research had a quantitative focus that employed a descriptive survey. The differences found between men and women with respect to their perception of self-efficacy suggest that on designing any type of intervention that has the objective of improving perceived self-efficacy, the gender variable must be taken into account. Future research projects must replicate these findings in larger samples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
