Abstract :The study examined the relationship between the problem-solving attitudes of secondary school students and problem-posing self-efficacy. For this reason, this research study was conducted using the correlational research model. The research study group consisted of 223 students selected from 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students, 66 of whom are private and 163 of whom are studying in public secondary schools in Istanbul. The research data were gathered using demographic information form, math problem-solving attitude scale, Mathematics Problem Solving Attitude Scale (MPSAS), and Problem Posing Self-Efficacy Scale (PPSES). The study\\\'s data was analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) correlation, and regression analyses. Based on the analysis, it was concluded that a significant relationship exists between secondary school students\\\' MPSAS and PPSES. It is seen that this relationship is a highly significant positive relationship. Simple regression analysis was performed because of the correlation. It was concluded that the total scores obtained from the MPSAS significantly predicted the total scores of the PPSES. It is seen that the problem-solving attitude scale positively affects the problem-posing self-efficacy scale and explains 46% of the total variance in the problem-posing self-efficacy scale
