Peculiarities of self efficacy of future socil workers with didderent types of attitudes towards other people

Abstract

The article presents the empirical results of the study of the features of self-efficacy of future social workers depending on the type of attitude towards other people. Insufficient indicators of general, activity and social self-efficacy for a significant number of future social service specialists were found, with a downward trend in recent years. The data on the peculiarities of the self-efficacy of the subjects depending on gender, age and work experience in social services are presented. It was established that the self-efficacy indicators of male subjects are generally higher than those of women, although self-efficacy indicators become lower among future social workers who are older; 2) future male specialists who had working experience in social services have lower social self-efficacy than future female specialists. Groups of future social workers with different types of attitudes toward other people (active-positive, situational-subjective, functional-business, neutral-indifferent, hidden-negative) were identified and characterized. It is shown that the active-positive type of attitude towards other people, which is professionally significant for future social service specialists, is characteristic of only a small number of them. The peculiarities of the manifestation of self-efficacy depending on the type of attitude of future specialists towards other people are determined; in particular, the highest indicators of self-efficacy in the case of an active-positive type of attitude and the lowest - hidden-negative type. It is noted that the obtained results can be used both in the psychological training of future social workers and during the psychological support of their professional activities.
