Abstract

Research on graduate education is increasingly focused on students’ writing and reading experiences throughout their programs (McAlpine & Amundsen, 2012), as well as their motivation and well-being (Gardner, 2009; Hyun et al., 2006). However, limited research examines graduate students’ motivational experiences specific to writing and reading, especially in relationship to well-being outcomes. The present study used an online survey to explore writing and reading self-efficacy (i.e., a motivational construct) and several measures of well-being in graduate students (N = 851). Hierarchical linear regressions revealed writing self-efficacy to be a strong predictor of well-being. An interaction effect was also observed between writing and reading self-efficacy on imposter syndrome, suggesting the importance of both writing and reading support programs in well-being promotion.
