| dc.description.abstract | This study investigates the relationship between self-efficacy and coping amongst first year sports studies students. The aims of the study are threefold; firstly, to explore the relationship between self-efficacy and coping among first year undergraduate sport students. Second, to investigate the influence of an intervention strategy to enhance coping skills, and thus raise self-efficacy. Thirdly, to investigate the extent to which academic self-efficacy and coping skills are associated with reduced dropout. The overarching objective is to encourage students to use effective coping strategies that bring about increased self-confidence to deliver the skills required to pass this year. | |
