Objective: Self-efficacy is an essential variable contributing to adolescents' well-being and academic success. The literature on the topic underlines that adolescents with effective metacognitive strategies show high levels of self-efficacy. Furthermore, a recent line of research has focused explicitly on the relationship between self-efficacy and the skills essential to developing adequate abilities to acquire positive behaviors and effectively face life challenges (“life skills”). The relationship between these variables and how it could affect stress perception and quality of life during adolescence are still little investigated and need more research attention. Specifically, this study aimed to investigate the impact of self-efficacy, life skills, and metacognition on stress perception, depressive and anxiety symptoms, and quality of life in a sample of Italian adolescents.
