“…Meaning, majority of the respondents in present study believed that they can deal with their academic tasks and all related school activities positively in which in return, it improved their academic performance significantly. According to Bandura, (1997); Ando &Asakura, (2007), people use to have high self-efficacy in some situation and lower in others, this shows that it is a behavioral change and it depends on one's situation or condition. Furthermore, selfefficacy theory argued that, individuals who possessed a high level of academic self-efficacy believed were more likely to attempt most of the academic challenges tasks, resist longer at them and exert more efforts in the academic process.…”

“…Self-efficacy is one of the important aspect of social cognitive theory because most of the individual level of self-efficacy are from external experiences and self-perception which it determine the results of tasks and circumstances they encountered (Bandura, 1997;Miller & Dollard, 1941;Bandura 1986). Researches have revealed that self-efficacy play a significant influence on human behavior and this cannot be overemphasized because people use to have high self-efficacy in some situation and lower in others, this shows that it is a behavioral change and it depends on one's situation or condition (Bandura, 1997;Ando &Asakura, 2007). The application of self-efficacy theory in this present study is that, students who possessed a high level of academic self-efficacy believed were more likely to attempt most of the academic challenges tasks, resist longer at them and exert more efforts in the academic process.…”

“…In our study group, if respondents had siblings who drank alcohol every day, there was a chance of their alcohol abuse 4.37 times higher (95% CI=1.78-10.69). Ando et al also found that girls are more sensitive to this factor than boys (27). However, there are some possible limits to our study.…”

SUMMARYObjective: The aim of our study was to identify and analyze selected factors influencing alcohol use among primary school children aged 8 to15 years in the academic year 2009/10.Methods: The sample consisted of children from 28 primary schools. Data of this cross-sectional study were collected using questionnaires. Chi-Square test was used to test differences in proportions of observed phenomena between boys and girls. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the influence of selected factors on the variable "child's alcohol drinking per week".Results: The sample consisted of 2,494 respondents (52% of boys, 48% of girls). In the study group 78% of all respondents (95% CI=76−80) drank alcohol infrequently (less than once a week) or did not drink alcohol at all, and 22% of respondents (95% CI=20−24) drank alcohol at least once a week.More boys than girls considered alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine and spirit as quite easily available. We performed the model of multivariate logistic regression analysis using the independent variables: age of respondents, gender of respondents, mother's alcohol drinking, father's alcohol drinking, sibling's alcohol drinking, parental rules, parental control, and mental support from parents (if their children have problems) to identify their effect on the dependent variable − child's alcohol drinking per week. We found out that mother's alcohol drinking and a lack of mental support from parents did not have a statistically significant influence on child's alcohol drinking per week. Conclusion:The results of our study point to the fact that it is necessary to focus on the prevention of alcohol drinking in general and among school children in particular. We recommend greater control of the sale of alcoholic beverages, so as to prevent the purchase by people under 18 years of age.

“…Bandura explains that self-efficacy "refers to beliefs in one's capabilities to organize and execute the courses of action required to manage prospective situations" (Bandura, 1995;P.2). Research has demonstrated that the effects of self-efficacy on behavior are pervasive (Ando & Asakura, 2007;Bandura & Adams, 1977;Barling & Beattie, 1983). Self-efficacy has been found to be a relevant predictor of susceptibility and also is negatively associated with vulnerability in adolescents (Fagan et al, 2003).…”

This paper aims to examine the relationship between the individual factor of stress and cigarette smoking behavior and also determine the moderating effect of self-efficacy on the relationship between stress and cigarette smoking behavior among adolescents in Kerman, Iran. A quantitative research method was employed. The samples included three hundred current smoker adolescents between the ages of 15 to 18. The data were collected by means of self-administered questionnaires and then analyzed by AMOS software. The direct structural model was employed to determine the path relationships between the individual factor of stress and cigarette smoking behavior. In addition, a multi-group analysis approach was applied to assess the moderating effect of self-efficacy on the relationship between stress and cigarette smoking behavior among adolescents. The results of testing the structural equation model revealed that there is a positive significant relationship between the individual factor of stress and cigarette smoking behavior. It was also found that self-efficacy significantly moderates the effects of stress on the cigarette smoking behavior among adolescents. The paper proposes some suggestions in order to prevent cigarette smoking behavior among adolescents.
