Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of self-efficacy and cynical attitudes on life
 satisfaction. Participants, including 330 college students of whom 66.97% were women
 in the 18-36 age range (M = 21.20, SD = 1.91), from different academic departments and
 class levels of a state university in Middle Anatolia, completed the Self-Efficacy Scale,
 the Cynical Attitudes Towards University Scale, the Life Satisfaction Scale and the personal
 information form. In data analysis, correlation and regression analysis were utilized.
 The correlation analysis indicated significant relations between self-efficacy, cynical attitudes
 towards university, and life satisfaction. Self-efficacy and cynical attitudes towards
 university explained 17% of the variance in life satisfaction. The results were discussed in
 the light of information obtained from related literature and some suggestions for further
 studies were provided.
