Abstract: Abstract The aim of this study is to explore how self-efficacy and personality types of undergraduates affect their learning approach and to analyze the relationship between the variables involved. A model was developed using self-efficacy, personality types and learning approach and this model was tested using path analysis. The path analysis showed that extraversion, neuroticism, conscientiousness and openness had a significant effect on self-efficacy, while extroversion and openness had a significant effect on both deep and surface learning. It was further found that self-efficacy had a significant effect on deep and surface learning. According to the results, personality types directly or/and indirectly affect the learning approaches. In light of the findings of this study, when the deep learning approach is considered as the desired learning approach, it can be said that the effects of self-efficacy and personality types on deep learning were remarkable.
