Objective: This study detected the short-term fluctuations of college students' English learning self-efficacy in order to explore the influencing factors and improvement strategies of academic self-efficacy. Methods:135 college students in China were investigated and manipulated by the self-feedback task with the negative situational questions on the SO JUMP(https://www. wjx. top/jq/28335553. aspx). Results: the self-effcacy of each negative feedback problem scenario was significantly lower than that of the initial self-efficacy measured before negative feedback(r=-9.25,-9.22,-9.91,p<0.001), and the self-efficacy measured after imagining a month of disturbance task showed a significant upward trend(r=5.404,p<0.001). Conclusion:(1)
Imagining negative situations will reduce the self-efficacy of college students in English examination, which initially proved that the manipulation of negative self-feedback tasks is effective.(2) Imagining a one-month experience unrelated to the English test, the decline of self-efficacy in the English test has attenuated, which preliminaries proved that there are short-term fluctuations in self-efficacy.
