Methods: General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) and Index of Well-Being, Index of General Affect were administered to 102 low-income college students and 164 regular income college students. Results: Low-income college students scored significantly lower than their peers on general self-efficacy and subjective well-being. Significant gender differences were not found. Individuals with high general self-efficacy experienced more subjective well-being. General self-efficacy of low-income college students had significant positive correlation with index of general affect, life satisfaction and index of well-being. Conclusion: Family economic status has an important effect on general self-efficacy and subjective well-being. General self-efficacy is related to subjective well-being.展开更多
