This chapter discusses the role of self-efficacy and confidence as foundations for student success and well-being. Based on the work of Albert Bandura and social learning theory, the goal is for individuals to feel that they are able to identify and solve problems on their own. Low self-efficacy can lead to depression because a lack of control causes disappointment and pessimism. Academic self-efficacy is identified as one of the factors that is necessary for a positive college experience. A case of a student with limited social self-efficacy is examined, with suggestions of how parents can help, including how to give accurate and optimistic feedback based on strengths and weaknesses. There is also a section on how bias and stereotyping undercut the feeling of self-efficacy and how parents can encourage their teens to push back and not internalize these prejudices.

In this chapter, we will address how Yoga may contribute to psychological wellbeing. The chapter will be based on review of relevant literature in the backdrop of the theoretical framework of Self-Efficacy developed by Albert Bandura in his comprehensive ‘social cognitive theory of human motivation and learning'. Illustrations are included from our study: “Yoga to promote young people's mental health and well-being?” First, we will address some current social tendencies that contribute to everyday stress and challenges to people's general wellbeing. Second, we aim to have some conceptual clarification related to the concepts in our title “Yoga for psychological wellbeing”. Third, we will address how Yoga may function as a tool for self-regulation and its relationship with self-efficacy. Fourth, we will describe how Yoga is perceived as a mean to cope with stress. We will discuss how different people use Yoga to cope with stress, and how this partly relates to the role of Yoga as a tool for self-regulation.

Academic Self Efficacy

Self-efficacy refers to beliefs about one’s capabilities to learn or perform behaviors at different areas such as academic, social and emotional. Thereby self-efficacy in adolescents can be related with their subjective well-being, defined as a person’s cognitive and affective evaluations of his life. The second important factor that can be related with adolescents’ subjective well-being is their parents’ self-perception of their parental roles on the level of competence, role satisfaction, investment and role balance. On this basis the aim of this study is to investigate the relations among self-efficacy in adolescents, self- perception of parental role and adolescents’ subjective well-being. The research group was conducted by 390 adolescents aged between 12 and 17 and their parents. Data was collected with Demographical Information Form, Self-Efficacy Scale for Children, Self-Perception of Parental Scale and Adolescent Subjective Well-Being Scale. The findings indicated that academic self-efficacy, social self-efficacy, emotional self-efficacy and competence of mother were predicting adolescents’ subjective well-being significantly.   Keywords: Adolescent, self-efficacy, parental role, subjective well-being.
