The Relationship between Resiliency with Self- Efficacy and Stress in Iranian Female High School Students

Open access
Relationships between resiliency with self- efficacy and stress were investigated in Iranian female high school students in Grades 10 to 12 (N = 176). Research tools included the General self-efficacy (GSE), Depression, anxiety and stress scale– 21 and Family Resilience Assessment Scale (FRAS). The findings of this study indicated that there was a significant positive correlation between resiliency with self- efficacy and stress (P <0.05). According to the findings of this study, there is a positive and significant relationship between resiliency with self- efficacy and stress in Iranian female high school. Considering the findings of this research can be effective in improving the lives of high school students and the emotional atmosphere of their families. On the other hand, the findings of this study can be used in designing and feasibility of educational protocols to reduce the problems and prevent the creation of a crisis in the life of Iranian adolescents for families.
