Introduction: Students are important as the future makers of any society, so studying and predicting their personality traits due to academic self-efficacy has an important role in the development of their community and their mental health.
Methods: The research is descriptive correlational (regression analysis). The statistical population consisted of all students studying in Islamic Azad University of Boroujerd Medical Sciences during the year 2019-2020.Using simple random sampling method, 350 people were selected. Data collection was done by Short Form Personality Questionnaire and Academic Self- efficacy Questionnaire.
Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation), correlation coefficient and multivariate regression were used for data analysis by SPSS26 software.
Result: The results showed that there was a negative significant relationship between academic self-efficacy and neuroticism in medical students (r = -0.539 and P = 0.007). There was also a positive and significant relationship between academic self-efficacy and extraversion in students (r = 0.489, P = 0.013). Also, coefficients of standard and non-standard multivariate regression analysis showed that extraversion personality trait (P <0.05 and β = 0.636) and neuroticism personality trait (P = 0.05 and β = -0.309) were observedcan predict academic self-efficacy.
Conclusion: Based on the above findings, it can be concluded that students with higher academic self-efficacy have higher extraversion personality and lower neuroticism than students who have lower self-efficacy and this in student education and performance. Their curriculum should be taken into consideration by professors
