Abstract
This study compared self-efficacy in 200 athlete and non- athlete male students (50 athlete and 50 non- athlete male students ,each from Iran and India). The students completed the Self-Efficacy Scale (SES). Data from both the countries were analyzed separately using analysis of variance to find whether or not variance exists in self –efficacy between non-athelete and athelete students. Self- efficacy scores were also compared between both the countries .Results revealed significant difference in self-efficacy scores of non –athelete and athelete males of both the countries. Athelete male students had higher self efficacy than non -athelete students.Self- efficacy scores of neither athelete or non- athelete male students of Iran differed significantly from their Indian counterpart. The results of the present study indicated a link between sport activities and self-efficacy. Interventions like participation in adequate physical activities or sport activities may promote self-efficacy of students.
