Self-efficacy among Football Players between 16 -19 Years

The purpose of this study was to know the level of self-efficacy and to investigate selfefficacy of football players in different playing positions. The sample consisted of male amateur football players (N =61) between the age 16 and 19 years. General self-efficacy scale-schwarzer (GSES) was used to collect data. Descriptive statistics and kruskal-wallis test were applied in order to evaluate data. The results indicated that there was high self-efficacy among football players. No statistically significant difference found in football players’ selfefficacies according to their playing positions. Future qualitative researches which would cover tests including multi-variables on self- efficacy and other psychological characteristics should be performed in order to reach more detailed and concrete information.
