Abstract:
Introduction: In this study, differentiation of individual values and self-efficacy perception of adolescents is analyzed in terms of some variables. In addition, the predictive power of self-efficacy for individual values was analyzed. \r\nMethods: The Individual Values Scale and the Self-Efficacy Scale for Children were applied to 390 adolescents at the high school level. The results showed that self-efficacy and individual values become different in terms of gender, academic success perception, class and parental attitudes. \r\nResults & Conclusions: In this respect, it was determined that students\' self-efficacy differentiation was small according to their gender, class (n2=.022, Cohen\'s f=.15), and family attitudes (n2=.054, Cohen\'s f=.24), and moderate according to their GPA\'s (n2=.068, Cohen\'s f=.27), (p<.001). Also, it was determined that the individual values differed moderately according to family attitude (n2=.080, Cohen\'s f=.29) and GPA (n2=.086, Cohen\'s f=.31), and slightly according to gender (p<.001). On the other hand, significant relationships were found between individual values and self-efficacy, and self-efficacy was found to predict individual values positively (p<.001). The implications for psychological guidance were discussed and the importance of these results to the benefit of society was emphasized. In the 3rd model, self-efficacy (?=-. 386), social self-efficacy (?= .274) and gender (?=-. 064) significantly predicted individual values in high level (R=.53, R2=.28).
