Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: This cross-sectional study of adolescents between 10 and 18 years old aimed to measure self-efficacy in different nationalities, gender, sex, parent education, and work history among adolescents.Analysis of Moris' questionnaire of self-efficacy dimensions supplemented with socio-demographic data indicated significant differences in emotional, academic, and social self-efficacy across the father and mother's education (p<0.01),nationality, and history of working as a child laborer (p<0.01).Children of families with more education had higher self-efficacy.In contrast, adolescents with a history of working and other nationalities showed a lower rate of academic, social, and emotional self-efficacy.Findings suggest the importance of self-efficacy training strategies in adolescents, based on their demographic status.
