Abstract
Abstract
Understanding the self-efficacy, coping styles, and sense of community of native and refugee adolescent girls, who receive the same education, is essential for developing a more comprehensive understanding of adolescent development. This study compares the self-efficacy, coping, and sense of community of native and refugee adolescent girl students. This cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted with 384 native and refugee adolescent girl students in Turkey with an average of 16.05 years (SD = 1.34). Refugee adolescent girls were found to have higher levels of academic self-efficacy and sense of community than native adolescent girls. As the number of adolescents’ friends increased, their self-efficacy levels also increased. Native and refugee adolescent girls have similar needs, so effective and appropriate school-based programs with a more family-oriented approach that focuses on mothers should be implemented to develop adolescents’ self-efficacy, coping skills, and sense of community.
