The Relationship

Important strides have been made toward understanding the relationship between self-efficacy and life satisfaction. However, existing studies have largely focused on work and academic domains, leaving self-efficacy in the finance domain less frequently investigated. The present study applied the self-efficacy construct to the finance domain, namely “financial self-efficacy” (FSE), and tested the sequential mediating roles of high standards tendency and investment satisfaction in the relationship between FSE and general life satisfaction. A total of 323 employees from finance-related businesses completed anonymous questionnaires regarding FSE, high standards tendency, investment satisfaction, and general life satisfaction. Results indicated that FSE influenced general life satisfaction through investment satisfaction, and sequentially through high standards tendency and investment satisfaction. These results provide contributions to the current literature on life satisfaction, and positive psychology literature by shedding light on the roles of high standards tendency and investment satisfaction in the relation between FSE and general life satisfaction.

The purpose of this study is to examine and compare the relationship between self efficacy and life satisfaction scores in terms of age, gender, education level in cycling and trekking individuals. The research was conducted using descriptive scanning model. The sample of the study was individuals who are actively cycling and trekking in the province of Mersin. 51 women and 105 men participated in the research as voluntary.(Xage=38.79±14,39). Data were derived from participants by applying “Self-Efficacy Scale” which is adapted by Köseoğlu,Gerçek, Yılmaz, Soran (2007) and “Life Satisfaction Scale” which is adapted by Yetim(1993). Descriptive statistics, independent groups T-test, one -way ANOVA analyses and Pearson correlation were used to analyze the data. The total average of self-efficacy and life satisfaction scores of cycling and trekking individuals are high and in order of 25,03±5,46 and 31,36±5,36. The findings of the research showed that there is a significant correlation between self-efficacy and life satisfaction scores (r= ,36; p<0,01). According to T-test results, there is no significant difference between mean scores of self-efficacy and life satisfaction in terms of age, gender and education levels in all groups.(p >,05).According to the results of research, life satisfaction and self-efficacy average scores of individuals who regularly cycling and trekking were found to be high. When the self-efficacy and life satisfaction average scores were examined, no significant difference was found in terms of gender, age and educational status in terms of these variables. While the self-efficacy scores of the participants increased, life satisfaction scores increased.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu araştırmada, bisiklet ve trekking sporu yapan bireylerin öz-yeterlik ve yaşam doyumu puanlarının cinsiyet, yaş, eğitim durumu değişkenleri açısından incelenmesi ve katılımcıların öz-yeterlik ve yaşam doyumu puanları arasındaki ilişkinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma betimsel tarama modeli kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın örneklemini, Mersin ilinde aktif olarak bisiklet ve trekking sporu yapan 51 kadın, 105 erkek toplam 156 (Xyaş= 38,79 + 14,39) katılımcı oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak Köseoğlu, Gerçek, Yılmaz, Soran (2007) tarafından Türkçe’ ye uyarlanan “Algılanan Öz-Yeterlik Beklentisi Ölçeği” ve Yetim (1993) tarafından Türkçe`ye uyarlanan “Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistikler, bağımsız gruplar için “T testi”, tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) ve pearson korelasyon katsayısı kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre bisiklet ve trekking sporu yapan bireylerin öz-yeterlik puan ortalamaları (31,36± 5,36) ve yaşam doyumu puan ortalamalarının (25,03± 5,46) yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca çalışmaya katılan bireylerin öz-yeterlik ve yaşam doyumu puanları arasında pozitif bir korelasyon saptanmıştır (r=,36; p<,01). Katılımcıların cinsiyet, yaş, eğitim durumu ve spor dalı değişkenine göre öz-yeterlik ve yaşam doyumu puanlarının farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığına bağımsız gruplar için t testi ile bakılmış ve tüm gruplarda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunamamıştır (p>,05). Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, düzenli bisiklet süren ve trekking yapan bireylerin yaşam doyumu ve öz yeterlik ortalama puanlarının yüksek olduğu gözlenmiştir. Öz yeterlik ve yaşam doyumu ortalama puanları incelendiğinde cinsiyet, yaş ve eğitim durumu yönünden bu değişkenler açısından anlamlı bir farka rastlanmamıştır. Katılımcıların öz yeterlik puanları artarken, yaşam doyumu puanlarının da arttığı gözlenmiştir.

The purpose of this study was to determine key concepts of self-efficacy for sleep hygiene among young adults/college students and sleep experts, and to refine the Self-Efficacy for Sleep Hygiene Inventory. The Self-Efficacy for Sleep Hygiene Inventory was revised using input from young adult focus groups and experts. Information from focus groups informed instrument revision. The revised instrument was distributed using an electronic survey to young adults age 18–26 years for a total sample of 296. A principal component analysis with Varimax Orthogonal Rotation was conducted resulting in a three-factor solution. Cronbach’s alphas were: .85 for Behaviors to Adopt (nine items), .79 for Manage Mindset and Environment (eight items), .70 for Behaviors to Avoid (eight items), and .88 for the inventory (twenty-five items). Initial psychometric testing of the Self-Efficacy for Sleep Hygiene Inventory-Revised indicates that it is a reliable measure of self-efficacy for sleep hygiene in young adults age 18–26 years.

Academic Self Efficacy

This study aimed to explore the relationship between self-esteem, self-efficacy, family and life satisfaction, loneliness and academic achievement during adolescence. A total of 180 male and 301 female adolescents aged 10 to 17 (M=12.45 years, SD=2.66), from two primary and two secondary schools from the city of Split, participated in the study. To achieve the research goal, we administered the general data questionnaire, Self-Efficacy Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (Vulić Prtorić Sorić, 2006), Family Satisfaction Scale (Vulić Prtorić, 2004), the short-form UCLA Loneliness Scale (Russell, 1996), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965). The results indicated that female adolescents performed better in Croatian than male adolescents, who in turn assessed themselves as being more emotionally efficient than female adolescents. Regarding age, preadolescents were more satisfied, performed better academically, and exhibited higher levels of academic self-efficacy and self-esteem than older adolescents. The results of the regression analysis showed that higher academic self-efficacy and lower emotional self-efficacy were the strongest predictors of academic achievement. Research findings suggest that higher self-esteem and self-efficacy beliefs in all domains could have a protective role in well-being of adolescents and, finally, they point to the importance of developing high self-efficacy beliefs, especially academic ones, for academic achievement.Key words: academic achievement; adolescence; self-concept; satisfaction, loneliness---Ovim istraživanjem nastojalo se ispitati odnos između samopoštovanja, samoučinkovitosti, zadovoljstva s obitelji i životom, usamljenosti i akademskoga postignuća tijekom adolescencije. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo ukupno 180 adolescenata i 301 adolescentica u dobi od 10 do 17 godina (M = 12,45 godina, SD = 2,66), iz dvije osnovne i dvije srednje škole iz Splita. Kako bismo ostvarili cilj istraživanja, koristili smo sljedeće instrumente: Upitnik općih podataka, Upitnik samoučinkovitosti djece i adolescenata (Vulić Prtorić i Sorić, 2006), Skalu obiteljskoga zadovoljstva (Vulić Prtorić, 2004), kratki oblik Skale usamljenosti Sveučilišta u Kaliforniji (UCLA) (Russell, 1996) i Opću skalu samopoštovanja (Rosenberg, 1965). Rezultati pokazuju da su adolescentice bolje u Hrvatskom jeziku od adolescenata, koji su procijenili da su emocionalno učinkovitiji od ženskih adolescenata. S obzirom na dob, predadolescenti bili su zadovoljniji, imali bolju akademsku izvedbu i pokazivali više razine akademske samoučinkovitosti nego stariji adolescenti. Rezultati regresijske analize naglasili su višu akademsku samoučinkovitost i nižu emocionalnu samoučinkovitost kao najsnažnije prediktore akademskoga postignuća. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da više samopoštovanje i viša uvjerenja u samoučinkovitost u svim domenama mogu očuvati dobrobit adolescenata. Osim toga, rezultati ukazuju na važnost razvijanja snažnih uvjerenja u samoučinkovitost, posebno akademsku, za akademsko postignuće.Ključne riječi: adolescencija; akademsko postignuće; samopoimanje; usamljenost; zadovoljstvo
