    Adolescent self-efficacy was moderately high in urban high school students. Demographic and psychosocial factors like gender, race, or religiosity did not significantly impact these self-efficacy scores.

    Area of Science:

    • Adolescent Health
    • Psychology
    • Sociology

    Background:

    • Self-efficacy, a key psychological construct, influences adolescent behavior and well-being.
    • Understanding factors affecting self-efficacy is crucial for targeted health interventions.
    • Previous research suggests demographic variables may influence self-efficacy, necessitating further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To measure self-efficacy levels in a sample of urban high school students.
    • To examine the influence of gender, race, socioeconomic status, and religiosity on adolescent self-efficacy.
    • To provide normative data for the Self-Efficacy Scale (SES) in an adolescent population.

    Main Methods:

    • A descriptive study utilizing Coppel's Self-Efficacy Scale (SES).

  • Sample included 432 voluntary participants: freshmen and sophomore urban high school students.
  • Statistical analyses included t tests and one-way/two-way analyses of variance.

    • Main Results:

    • The sample exhibited a moderately high degree of self-efficacy (mean SES score = 45.37).
    • No significant differences in Self-Efficacy Scale scores were found based on race, gender, socioeconomic status, or religiosity.
    • Results did not support the hypothesis that these demographic and psychosocial variables impact self-efficacy.

    Conclusions:

    • Adolescent self-efficacy levels are generally high, irrespective of common demographic and psychosocial factors.
    • The study provides valuable normative data for the Self-Efficacy Scale in adolescents.
    • Further research may explore other potential moderators of self-efficacy in diverse adolescent populations.
