Abstract
Self-efficacy is defined as the belief in the ability to successfully perform a certain task. The effect of self-efficacy in children is an important factor in their emotional and social development (Koranjac, 2021). Self-efficacy, as well as the understanding of emotions in children, is influenced by many factors such as gender, age, intelligence, and the manifestation of certain abilities through the form of motor and functional abilities. Adding to their importance, the manifestation of self-efficacy in the form of social, academic, and emotional components also contribute greatly to the manifestation of certain motor abilities. This paper dealt with precisely this issue, namely how much these characteristics of children's self-efficacy can contribute to their motor development. The sample consisted of 159 respondents, 80 males (tv 138.31+/-6.92, tt 32.52+/-6.16) and 79 females (tv 140.29+/-7.94, tt 34.76+/-7.36), of whom 79 were from the city and 80 from the suburbs, and 80 were in the third grade and 79 in the fourth grade of primary school. The research was conducted using the Self-Efficacy Questionaire for Children in three areas: academic (which refers to the perceived ability to cope with learning and school material, and to meet school expectations), social (which refers to the perceived ability to relate to peers and perseverance) and emotional (which refers to the perceived ability to cope with negative emotions) (Muris, 2001). While motor abilities were analyzed using the Eurofit battery of tests (Hadžikadunić, M., Hadžikadunić, A., & Avdić, 1987). After analyzing the results, no difference was observed between the subjects in the results of the self-efficacy questionnaire in relation to the sex of the subjects (social t=0.78 sig.=0.43, academic t=0.76 sig.=0.44, emotional t=0.40 sig.=0.68), age (social t=-1.87 sig.=0.06, academic t=-1.65 sig.=0.09, emotional t=-0.72 sig.=0.47) and place of residence (social t=-0.69 sig.=0.54, academic t=0.43 sig.=0.66, emotional t=0.15 sig.=0.87). However, a difference was observed in all Eurofit tests in subjects who had better results in certain components of self-efficacy. All results were processed with the statistical program SPSS version 20.
