Prediction of Social Trust, Self-control and Self-efficacy based on the Level of Physical Activity in Veterans and Disabled
Physical and mental disorders are abundantly observed in veterans and disabled people, and in addition to causing concern, they have very adverse effects on various aspects of their lives. Considering that physical and mental health can play an important role in the general health of veterans and disabled people, it is vital to address these aspects. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to predict social trust, self-control, and self-efficacy based on the level of physical activity in veterans and disabled people.
The method of the study was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population was composed of veterans and disabled people of Yazd province. One hundred and nine people (62 veterans and 47 disabled) were selected as a statistical sample using the convenient method. Sharkey's physical activity (1997), Tanji's self-control (2004), Safarinia and Sharif's social trust (2009), and Sherer et al.'s self-efficacy (1982) scales were used to examine the research variables. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient to determine the relationship between variables and simple linear regression to predict variables.
The findings showed that physical activity level scores can significantly predict self-control (r=0.39) and social trust (r=0.31) variables in veterans and disabled people (P<0.01). However, due to the low correlation with the self-efficacy variable (r=0.14), the level of physical activity does not have the ability to predict this variable (P=0.19) significantly.
According to the results, it is suggested that appropriate planning should be considered for the participation of veterans and disabled people in regular physical activities to increase self-control and social trust and consequently increase life quality.
