Methods：This study uses the dada of “Taiwan Database of Children and Youth in Proverty”by the institute of Taiwan Found For Children and Families. A total of 2,671 adolescents data at age between 13-20 have been used to analyze (male = 1,241; females = 1,430). This investigation was conducted from July 1, 2011 to October 31, 2011, by systematic selection in each country. In this study, structural equation model analysis has been used to identify self-efficacy model. Result：The self -efficacy of Taiwanese economically disadvantaged adolescents is different in gender (p＜0.001); therefore two groups of male and female would be explored individually. Male adolescents'' s family life is associated with their self-efficacy (p＜0.001), school counseling (p＜0.001) and mental health and self-efficacy (p＜0.001). Male adolescents'' s school life has nothing to do with self-efficacy, but the school counseling is related with self-efficacy (p＜0.001) and mental health (p＜0.001). Male adolescents'' s self-concept affects their self-efficacy (p＜0.001), but school counseling has nothing to do with mental health. Female adolescents'' s family life is associated with their self-efficacy (p＜0.001), school counseling (p＜0.001) and mental health (p＜0.001). Female adolescents'' s school life is not related with their self-efficacy, but their school life is associated with school counseling (p＜0.001) and mental health (p＜0.001).Female adolescents'' s self-concept is related to their self-efficacy (p＜0.001), but self-concept is not associated with school counseling and mental health. Conclusions: Understanding Taiwan economically disadvantaged male and female adolescents'' s self-efficacy influenced factors, we should pay attention to these issues and solve these problems.
