Abstract

|
Self-efficacy is an essential element for a successful living and thus exercises considerable influence on health. It is especially important to children. Social support has been one of the determinants for self-efficacy. Hence so far, various types of social support from the family, peers, and teachers have received a great deal of attention. Yet, little attention has been paid to the community-level social support. Community social capital has been frequently used as a proxy for community-level social support. In such a context, this study examines the influence of family-, peer-, teacher-level social support and community social capital on preschool children`s self-efficacy. The results indicate that all types of social support and community social capital have influence on the self-efficacy. Particularly, community social capital determines self-efficacy to a large extent. Some implications are suggested.
