Covering over fifteen years of research, this compilation offers the
first comprehensive review of the relationships between self-efficacy,
adaptation, and adjustment. Following a general overview of
self-efficacy, renowned researchers discuss important topics such as
depression, anxiety, addictive disorders, vocational and career choice,
preventive behavior, rehabilitation, stress, academic achievement and
instruction, and collective efficacy. Psychologists concerned with
social cognition and practitioners in clinical counseling will find this
an invaluable reference.
