  • Title: American and Korean adolescents' physical and mental health self-efficacy.
    Author: Froman RD, Owen SV.
    Journal: J Pediatr Nurs; 1999 Feb; 14(1):51-8. PubMed ID: 10063249.
    Abstract:
    Self-efficacy beliefs are thought to have causal influence on behavior, helping to explain what tasks people approach, persevere at, or abandon. Few cross-cultural studies of adolescents' self-efficacy beliefs have been conducted or reported. We compared physical and mental health self-efficacy beliefs of Korean and American high school students. A Korean translation of the English language School Health Efficacy Questionnaire (SHEQ) was used in data collection. The translated version of the SHEQ showed psychometric estimates similar to the original English language version. Sizable age and culturally related differences were found on both physical and emotional health self-efficacy perceptions between the two groups of adolescents.
