This scale measures genaral expectations of self-efficacy.
The assumptions underlying this scale are that
personal expectations for success are a major component
of behavior and provide a direction for clinical
intervention. Scoring is as follows: Items are
scored (A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5), with reverse
scoring for items 3,6,7,8,11,14,18,20,22, 24,26,29,30.
Higher scores indicate higher self-efficacy.
