Self-efficacy of people at the threshold of adulthood

Summary/Abstract: Undoubtedly, self-efficacy has a great impact on the well-being and actions undertaken by people. That feature seems to be beneficial for people in emerging adulthood. It is a stage of life that requires young adults to be actively involved in projecting their future and taking up challenges. The aim of the study was to diagnose the self-efficacy of people entering adulthood in the context of their satisfaction with life. The study used the Sense of Effectiveness Test (TPS) by M. Chomczyńska-Rubacha and K. Rubacha and Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) designed by E. Diener, R.A. Emmons, R.J. Larson and S. Griffin in the adaptation of Z. Juczyński. The study involved 116 people, aged 19–25, including 75 women (64.7%) and 41 men (35.3%). It was found that people with average and low self-efficacy as well as those with average and high life satisfaction dominate the group. The analysis revealed a weak relationship between self-efficacy and life satisfaction. The obtained results induce to undertake further research that may explain the reasons for the low correlation between the analyzed variables.
