Predicting Coping Self-Efficacy Based on Resilience and Perceived Control in Adolescents of Tehran
Keywords:
Coping self-efficacy, Resilience, Perceived control, AdolescentsAbstract
Objective: This study aimed to examine the predictive roles of resilience and perceived control in coping self-efficacy among adolescents in Tehran.
Methods and Materials: A descriptive-correlational study was conducted with 395 adolescents aged 15 to 18 in Tehran, selected through multistage cluster sampling. The data were collected using the Coping Self-Efficacy Scale (Chesney et al.), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Perceived Control Scale (White et al.). Data analysis included Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression using SPSS version 27.
Findings: Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant positive relationships between coping self-efficacy and both resilience (r = .62, p < .01) and perceived control (r = .58, p < .01). The multiple regression model indicated that these two predictors explained 47% of the variance in coping self-efficacy (R² = .47, F = 175.42, p < .001). Both predictors were statistically significant with positive standardized beta coefficients (resilience: β = .45; perceived control: β = .38).
Conclusion: The findings highlight the psychological significance of resilience and perceived control in enhancing adolescents’ coping self-efficacy, emphasizing their integration into psychological and educational intervention programs.
