Abstract
Self-efficacy theory asserts that self-efficacy expectancies exert powerful influences on behavior and behavioral change. The Self-efficacy Scale was developed to assess generalized expectations of self-efficacy. Previous research provided preliminary evidence of the validity and reliability of the two subscales of the Self-efficacy Scale. The present study investigated several predicted conceptual relationships between the Self-efficacy subscales and other personality measures, i.e., MMPI, Rathus Assertiveness Schedule, and Bem Sex-role Inventory. Results supported the interpretation of the Self-efficacy Scale as a valid measure of expectation of personal ability to initiate and persist in behavior. Positive expectancies of self-efficacy were associated with enhanced personal adjustment.
