Whereas social support contributes to individual vitality and academic performance, the theoretical process through which social support promotes performance, and for whom it is most beneficial in this respect, remain open questions. We developed a conceptual model in which social support influences academic performance by promoting vitality, particularly among individuals who are low on social self‐efficacy (SSE). Social support has a positive effect on university students' academic performance, which is largely explained by its relationship with reported vitality among students with relatively low levels of SSE but not among students with higher SSE. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications for the existing literature on social support and vitality in academic settings.

社会支持是大学生生命力的来源：社会自我效能的调节作用

社会支持有助于个人的生命力和学习成绩，而社会支持促进绩效的理论过程以及在这方面对其最有利的社会支持仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。我们开发了一种概念模型，其中社会支持通过提高活力来影响学术表现，尤其是在社交自我效能感（SSE）较低的人群中。社会支持对大学生的学习成绩产生积极影响，这在很大程度上与社交能力与社交能力相对较低的学生所报告的活力的关系有关，而与社交能力较高的学生之间没有关系。我们讨论了有关学术环境中社会支持和活力的现有文献的理论和实践意义。
