Report of General Self-efficacy(GSE) Test

      1-      Introduction:

Self-efficacy can be defined as what a person thinks or perceive about his own ability to handle a difficult a situation or to produce some desired results. The construct of self-efficacy is used to measure the impact of such self-perception on one’s behavior. Mostly effect of perceived self-efficacy is studied on health related behaviors.

General Self-Efficacy (GSE) Scale is the most widely used method of measuring self-efficacy. It was origin ally developed by Matthias Jerusalem, and Ralph Schwarzer in 1981, and has 20 items initially but later version consisted of only 10 items. The scale is used for predicting both coping and adaptation skills of people, how they coped with daily hassles, and how they adapted after having undergone stressful life events. This scale measures a generalized sense of self-efficacy. It indicates the overall confidence that a person has about personal ability to cope with a wide range of situations that may be new, challenging or demanding. It focus on the competence that is broad and stable. 

      2-      Procedure
