Abstract :

The  purpose  of  the present  study  is to  analyze  the  existing  relationship  of  resiliency  and  loneliness  with  academic  self- efficacy among  male  students  of  high school , in  the  city  of  baneh  in  the  academic  year  2014- 2015.  Using multistage  cluster  sampling  method, 200 subjects  were  selected  from  among  three  high  school. The  data  was  collected  using  the  resiliency  scale (Conner and Davidson , 2003), loneliness scale ( UCLA, Peplau and Cutrona, 1980)  , and  the  academic  self- efficacy(Mc Ilroy and Bunting, 2002)   Questionnaire. The Pierson’s  correlation  Coefficient  and  Regression  analysis  were  used  to  analyze  the  data. Pierson’s  correlation  Coefficient  showed  positive  relationship  between  resiliency and  academic  self- efficacy r= 64%, and negative  relationship  between  loneliness and  academic  self- efficacy r= -69%, and negative  relationship  between   resiliency  and  loneliness r= - 75%.   The  results  found  that  in  the  regression  models, resiliency  and  loneliness  were  significant  predictors  of  academic  self- efficacy R2= 514%.
