Choose the two factors that do not adversely affect the academic performance of students:

Belief in God and an indifferent attitude towards politics do not adversely affect academic performance, so statements 2 and 3 are the answer.

Personal faith is unrelated to a learner's classroom achievement and carries no academic penalty.

Being indifferent to politics likewise has no direct negative bearing on study outcomes.

Low self-efficacy belief (statement 1) does harm performance, since doubting one's capability reduces effort and persistence.

A teacher's low expectation of students (statement 4) harms performance through the self-fulfilling Pygmalion effect.

The Pygmalion effect, shown by Rosenthal and Jacobson, links raised teacher expectations to improved pupil achievement.
