The research was conducted on the sample of 251 high school students of Medical School in Zadar (63 respondents were male and 188 were female, aged 15-18). Two questionnaires were used. The first one referred to general self-efficiency (after Schwarzer et al., 1997) and it included 10 items that measure general and stable sense of self-efficacy in facing different stressful situations. The second questionnaire referred to intrinsic motivation (Intrinsic Motivation Inventory/IMI/, after McAuley, Duncan & Tamman, 1989, adapted to physical education in 2002, after Barić et al.) and it included 18 items that evaluated four factors: a) interest/pleasure; b) perceived competence; c) effort/importance; d) pressure/tension. The analysis included calculation of the frequency of replies and calculation of descriptive indicators in both questionnaires. Application of t-test for independent samples showed that there was statistically important difference between males and females in the level of self-efficacy that the students achieve in physical education classes. The analysis also showed differences in the level of motivation, i.e. there were statistically significant differences between sexes related to the following factors: interest/pleasure, perceived competence, and pressure/tension. On the other hand, there were no significant differences related to effort/importance factor.
