    General Self-efficacy among Lebanese Adolescents: Role of Education of Mothers, Type of School Attended and Perceived Social Support
    (2006) Asmar, Jumana Zarkut
    This study investigated the role that social influences play in the formation of General Self-efficacy among Lebanese adolescents. Key variables of interest included Educational attainment of Mother, Type of School Attended, and Perceived Social Support. We selected a sample of 180 students, with an average of 16.5 years, from two private and two public schools. Participants filled the General Self-efficacy scale and the Perceived Social Support scale. While education of Mother and type of school were not found related to General Self-efficacy or to Perceived social support, correlation analysis pointed to a positive correlation between General Self-Efficacy and Perceived Social Support. Cultural role of collectivism and individualism is discussed with respect to findings and in projection to future studies.
