Abstract: To investigate the relationship between supervisor-student relationship, professional identification, fear of supervisor's negative evaluation and self-efficacy in graduate students, totally 458 graduate students were recruited to participate in this study. They completed the general self-efficacy scale, perceived supervisor-student relationship questionnaire, professional identification scale and fear of supervisor's negative evaluation scale. The results indicated that: (1) supervisor-student relationship significantly positively predicted the self-efficacy of graduate students, and professional identification played a mediating role between supervisor-student relationship and self-efficacy; (2) fear of supervisor's negative evaluation moderated the second path of the indirect association. To be more specific, the relationship between professional identification and self-efficacy was stronger for graduate students with higher fear of supervisor's negative evaluation. These findings contribute to our understanding of the potential mechanism between supervisor-student relationship and self-efficacy for graduate students.

Key words: self-efficacy, supervisor-student relationship, professional identification, fear of supervisor's negative evaluation, graduate students
