Cris John Bryan Dela Cruz

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This study was conducted to define the relationship of self-efficacy to adolescents’ resilience in South Central Mindanao, Philippines. The study used quantitative, non-experimental research design using correlational technique to determine the degree of relationship between self-efficacy and adolescents’ resilience. The respondents were the 400 adolescents, selected through non-probability approach. The mean, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation were used to analyze the data. It was revealed that the level of adolescents’ self-efficacy and resilience are very high. Self-efficacy has a significant relationship with adolescents’ resilience. Consequently, providing a motivating and caring environment can enhance adolescents’ self- efficacy and help them develop resilience and be able to cope with adversity and succeed in life.
