The study aims to explore the predictive role of general self-efficacy beliefs on positive and negative styles of adjustment among university students.

In addition, the study examined the predictive role of some demographic variables )gender, academic year, college, and GPA( on these adjustment styles.

The study sample consisted of 593 students )60% females( from Sultan Qaboos University.

The participants responded to general self-efficacy beliefs scale )Radwan, 1997( and adjustment styles scale )Aldhafri, Kazem, Alzubiadi Yousif, Albahrani, & Alkharusi, 2009(.

The results showed medium level of general self-efficacy beliefs, and both positive and negative adjustment styles.

Moreover, the hierarchal linear regression analysis demonstrated the power of academic year and general self-efficacy beliefs in predicting positive adjustment styles.

On the other hand, negative adjustment styles were predicted by gender, academic year, and general self-efficacy beliefs.
