“…Such studies have shown that a high sense of self-efficacy is related to protective behaviors, to the promotion of healthy behaviors, and generally to better levels of health, while low self-efficacy is related to the use of coping strategies focused on emotions such as denial and self-blame 21 , as well as to symptoms of anxiety, depression, distress, psychosomatic symptoms, and negative well-being 7,22,23 .…”

The objective of this study is to investigate the role of self-efficacy beliefs as a mediator of the relationship between the subjective well-being and general health of military cadets (police and firefighters). For this study, 228 cadets participated, the majority being Military Police officer candidates (65%), male (79%), between 17 and 34 years of age (99%), and unmarried (74%). They responded to questionnaires on general health (GHQ-12), perceived general self-efficacy, to the multiple scales that cover subjective well-being, and demographic questions. Initial regression analyses indicate the predictive power of subject well-being regarding general health. Subsequently, the mediation analyses provide satisfactory evidence for the role of perceived self-efficacy as a mediator of the relationship between the subjective well-being variables and the overall health of military cadets. The implications of these results for the professional training of the cadets are discussed.

This study aimed to examine the concept of marital adjustment and its relation with perfectionism (self-oriented, otheroriented and socially-prescribed perfectionism), the ways of coping (problem-focused coping, emotion-focused coping and seeking social support) and gender variables. The research was carried out with 290 married individuals (188 females and 102 males). Participants were administered a questionnaire to ascertain their socio-demographic characteristics along with several assessment scales including Dyadic Adjustment Scale, Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, The Ways of Coping Inventory, Brief Symptom Inventory. A series of analyses of Covariance (ANCOVA) was conducted to evaluate the effects of personal level of perfectionism (self-oriented, other-oriented and socially-prescribed perfectionism), the ways of coping (problem-oriented coping, emotion-oriented coping and seeking social support) and gender on marital adjustment, after controlling for psychopathological symptom levels. The results demonstrated that individuals who had self-oriented perfectionism and individuals, those who applied problem-oriented coping strategies more often, reported greater level of marital adjustment. Specifically, socially-prescribed perfectionism in males and self-oriented perfectionism in females were found to be the determinant figure on the issue of marital adjustment. Another finding revealed an interaction effect between self-oriented perfectionism and seeking social support. The findings were discussed in the light of relevant literature regarding the structure of Turkish society.
