Prediction level of resiliency based of Stages of Exercise Behavior Change and self-efficacy in students

The purpose of this research is to predict the level of resiliency based on Stage of Exercise Behavior Change and self-efficacy in students. Therefore, the number of 292 male and female students in Shahid Beheshti University were selected. They completed resiliency questionnaires (Connor and Davidson, 2003), Stages of Exercise Behavior Change (SEBC) (Cardinal, 1997) and self-efficacy (Schwartz, 1999). The results showed significant difference between various SEBC in level of resiliency and self-efficacy. Students in higher SEBC grades (action and maintenance) have higher resiliency and self-efficacy. And also we find significant positive correlation between SEBC and self-efficacy with resiliency. Finally, SEBC and self-efficacy were significant predictors the level of resiliency. Therefore, physical activity and regular exercise can be considered as resilience environment and makes some resiliency features.
