ABSTRACT

The aim of the study was to find out the differences in Self-Efficacy of athletes at different levels of competitions. For the present study random sampling technique was used. The sample comprised 100 male athletes in each of the three levels making a total of 300 (i.e. 100 from the district, 100 from the state and 100 from the national level) from different Universities and District Training Centers of Haryana state. To measure Self-Efficacy, Riggs et al. (1994)Self-Efficacy Scale (SES) was used. The SPSS software was used for statistical analysis of data of the study. ANOVA and Scheffe post hoc test were used to see the significance of differences between self-efficacy of athletes at various levels of competitions. The level of significance is set at 0.05. Results found that athletes of the national level have highest level of self-efficacy than those of district and state level athletes. However, the district level athletes possess the lowest level of self-efficacy.
