Examination of Self-Efficacy and Life Satisfaction Levels of Students Receiving Education in Schools of Physical Education and Sports
The purpose of this study is to examine the selfefficacy
and life satisfaction levels of students receiving education in
schools of physical education and sports. The population of the study
consisted 263 students, among which 154 were male and 109 were
female ( X age=19,4905 + 2,5605), that received education in the
schools of physical education and sports of Selcuk University, Inonu
University, Gazi University and Karamanoglu Mehmetbey
University. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, the selfefficacy
scale, which was developed by Jarrusselam and Shwarzer
(1981) [1] and adapted to Turkish by Yesillay (1993) [2], and the
life satisfaction scale, developed by Diener, Emmos, Larsen and
Griffin (1985) [3] and adapted to Turkish by Kokler (1991) [4], were
utilized.For analyzing and interpreting data Kolmogorov-Smirnov
test, t-test and one way anova test were used, while for determining
the difference between the groups Tukey test and Multiple Linear
Regression test were employed and significance was accepted at
P<0,05. SPSS (Statistical package for social sciences) package
software was used for evaluating the data and finding out the
calculated values.In conclusion of this study, it was determined that
female students have higher life satisfaction levels than male
students, while students attending to the second grade had higher life
satisfaction levels than fourth grade students. On the other hand,
general self-efficacy levels of male students were found out to be
higher than that of female students. It was also determined that
students attending to the fourth grade had higher general self-efficacy
levels than those receiving education in the first grade. Availability
of a significant relation was determined between life satisfaction
levels and self-efficacy levels.
