Abstract

Based on the self-efficacy theory and combined with the five-factor model (big five personality theory), this study adopts the method of collective questionnaire survey to analyze the correlations among self-efficacy, personality traits of high school students and physical activities. The results show that: the self-efficacy of high school students has a significant correlation with their personality traits; the self-efficacy of high school students is correlated with the status of their physical activities; the higher the self-efficacy of high school students is, the more their personality traits tend to be extraversion and openness, and high school students with high self-efficacy also prefer collective activities or challenging physical activities.
