The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of academic self-efficacy concerning executive functions and academic vitality in academically gifted students via a descriptive-correlational research method and structural equation modeling (SEM). The statistical population of the research included all the academically gifted students of the first secondary school (7th and 8th grades) who were studying in Isfahan gifted schools in the second half of the academic year 2022-2023. 340 individuals were selected as a sample via a convenient sampling technique. The research tools included the Academic Vitality Questionnaire (AVQ) by Hossein Jari and Dehghanizadeh (2011), the Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (BDEFS) by Barkley (2011), and the Morgan-Jinks Student Efficacy Scale (MJSES) by Morgan-Jinks (1999). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the data. The results demonstrated the optimal fit of the research model. Also, the results showed that executive functions have a positive and significant correlation with academic vitality (P < 0.05). Besides, it affects academic vitality directly and indirectly through the mediation of student self-efficacy (P< 0.05). These results indicated that executive functions could, directly and indirectly, explain academic vitality in academically gifted students with the mediation of self-efficacy.
