A Social Person As “Living with Covid-19 and Social Competence”

Abstract

This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between as a social person university students' social efficacy and social outcome expectations and the fear of the Covid-19 pandemic. In accordance with this purpose, construct validity tests of the Fear of Covid-19 Scale and the Social Efficacy and Social Outcome Expectations Scale were also conducted in the study. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was utilized to examine the construct validity of the scales. Whether there was a relationship between social efficacy and social outcome expectations and the fear of Covid-19 was tested using the chi-square test of independence. The data were obtained electronically from university students on a voluntary basis. 308 university students participated in the study. This study was determined that 37.7% of the students participating in the research were male, and 62.3% were female. While 60.1% of the students were between the ages of 18-20, 30.5% of them were between the ages of 21-23. According to the results of the analysis on the data, a statistically significant relationship emerged between the students' fear of Covid-19 and their social efficacy and social outcome expectations, and also between the fear of Covid-19 and social outcome expectations, which was a dimension of the Social Efficacy and Social Outcome Expectations Scale.
