CHAPTER I
Introduction
In the current study, it was aimed to determine the extent to which adolescents' levels of
hope, self-efficacy predict their career anxiety. To this end, the relational survey model was used
to determine the relationship between the variables. The study group was formed by using the
convenience sampling method. The online form prepared by the researchers was shared on
social media platforms commonly used by adolescents and in this way, a total of 253
adolescents (165 females and 88 males) were reached. The mean age of the participants is
15.61. The data in the study were collected by using a demographic information form developed
by the researchers, the Career Anxiety Scale, the Dispositional Hope Scale, the Self-Efficacy
Scale for Children and adults. In the analysis of the data, multiple linear regression analysis and
the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient were used to determine the relationship
between the variables. As a result of the study, negative significant correlations were found
between the career anxiety of the adolescents and their levels of hope, self-efficacy. In addition,
it was concluded that the career anxiety of the adolescents was predicted negatively and
significantly by their hope, self-efficacy. On the basis of these findings, it can be said that the
healing power of hope, self-efficacy can be used to cope with the career anxiety of adolescents.
The results were discussed in light of the relevant literature and suggestions were made for
future research.
Variables
The current study seeks to more closely examine the relationship between optimism and
general ability in relationship trust and academic achievement. Relational trust includes the
willingness of individuals to rely on others, to rely on their own judgment, and to foster
interpersonal relationships based on mutual respect and understanding (Rotter, 2006 ). Rempel
, Holmes , & Zanna , 1980 ; Conversely, academic achievement reflects individuals’ cognitive,
affective, and behavioral indicators of their commitment to their educational pursuits, including
their academic outcomes, achievement rates, and academic achievement (Eccles et al et al.,
2004; Pajares & Schunk, 2001).
Thus, the main theme/variable of this study revolves around how changes in both levels of hope
and work efficacy correlate with trust in relationships and academic achievement. By elucidating
these relationships, the study aims to provide insight into the psychological mechanisms
underlying individual relationship development and educational endeavors, thus contributing to
the development of theoretical knowledge and practice practical interventions aimed at
promoting overall development and prosperity.
