Aims: The learners’ beliefs on their capabilities in the process of education are defined as academic self-efficacy that is realized by a variety of factors. This study aimed to investigate the role of family health and attachment styles in prediction of the academic self-efficacy.

Instrument & Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive research with a correlation design was performed in all undergraduate students of Literature and Humanities School of the University of Guilan in 2014-15 academic years and 335 students were selected using clustering random sampling method. Hovestadt Family-of-Origin's Scale, Hazan & Shaver's attachment styles and Owen & Forman’s Academic Self-efficacy questionnaires were used in order to collect data. Data analysis was conducted in SPSS 22 software using Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate linear regression.

Findings: Academic self-efficacy had positive and significant relationship with healthcare (r=0.274) and secure attachment style (r=0.336) and negative and significant relationship with avoidant attachment style (r=0.413), anxious attachment style (r=0.402 p<0.01). The predictor variables of avoidant attachment style (p=0.0001 t=4.828), secure attachment style (p=0.0001 t=5.108), anxious attachment style (p=0.001 t=-3.217) and family health (p=0.002 t=3.061) determined 0.3 of the variance of academic self-efficacy among the students and played a major role in the prediction of academic self-efficacy, respectively.

Conclusion: Family health and secure attachment style increase the academic self-efficacy beliefs of the students and avoidant- and anxious attachment styles decrease the academic self-efficacy beliefs of the students.
