    Adolescence is defined as the period of change between childhood to adulthood that involves biological, cognitive, and socio-emotional changes. A key task of adolescents is grounding for adulthood. “Adolescence” is a dynamically developing theoretical construct informed through physiologic, psychosocial and cultural lenses. This critical developmental period is traditionally understood as the years between the beginning of puberty and the establishment of social independence. This research examines self-efficacy in Relation to social phobia of Adolescents. . The study was conducted rural and urban areas of Bhiwani district of Haryana State. From selected district sample constituted of randomly selected 240 adolescence including 120 males and 120 females of 14-16 years.

Self-efficacy was assessed by Self efficacy scale (SES) of Mathur and Bhatnagar (2012) and Family environment was assessed using Family environment scale (FES) by Bhatia & Chadha (2002). There were significant differences in the self-efficacy between male and female students. Female students’ self-efficacy was higher than for males, and there was no significant relationship between self-efficacy and academic achievement. Statistically significant differences were found in the mean scores of self-regulatory skills, self-influence and self-evaluation. Adolescents aged 14-15 years had better self-efficacy as compared to 15-16 years.
