Greek PST (n = 84) |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M (SD) | M (SD) | F | p | η2 | |
| Self-efficacy beliefs (range 3–15) | 9.20 (1.573) | 9.17 (2.159) | 0.020 | n.s. | 0.000 |
| Outcome expectations (range 3–15) | 10.28 (1.848) | 8.90 (2.234) | 14.437 | 0.000 | 0.089 |
| External locus of causality (range 4–20) | 9.99 (2.179) | 11.74 (2.414) | 17.542 | 0.000 | 0.107 |
Note. M = mean; SD = standard deviation; F = Fisher’s ratio; p = p value; n.s. = not statistically significant; η2 = eta square; As shown in Table 1, Greek PSTs had lower outcome expectations and a higher external locus of causality than Italian PSTs. No differences were found in self-efficacy beliefs.
