To determine the self efficacy perception of the teachers the teacher self efficacy scale developed by Aydın and his collegues (2004) was applied, and to determine their physique anxiety levels the social physique anxiety scale developed by Leary and Rejeski (1989) and adapted to Turkish by Balli and Ascı (2006) was applied. The collected data was analyzed using the SPSS “13.0” statistical analysis software, and the Mann House U test was used for observing the difference between two groups, Kruskal Wallis test was used for observing the differences between two or more groups depending on variables, and in order to examine the relationships between variables the Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient Test was used. In statistical comparisons the meaningful level is p<.05. As a result, while there is no significant difference found in comparison of the self efficacy perception and social physique anxiety scores according to the age, gender, sport branch, seniority variables, there is a medium level relationship in the different direction between the self efficacy perception and social physique anxiety scores (r= .254, p<.05), and a medium level relationship in the same direction between the age variable and social physique anxiety scores (r= .237, p<.05).
