Contribution of Self-Efficacy and Adjustment in Prediction of National Pride among University Students

The purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of self-efficacy and adjustment for prediction of national pride among university students. The research method was descriptive-correlational. Two hundred students of the Hamedan branch of the Islamic Azad University were randomly selected as the sample by stratified sampling method, in the academic year of 2014-2015. Participants completed three questionnaires: Sherer’s Self-efficacy Scale, Sinha and Singh’s Adjustment Inventory for high School Students (AISS), and National Pride Inventory (NPI). For analyzing the data Pearson’s correlation and multiple regression tests were used. The results indicated that national pride has significant positive correlations with self-efficacy and adjustment. Self-efficacy and adjustment combined, predicted 12% of national pride variance.
