The internal consistency reliability of the original SSS was inadequate (.79). By revising that scale in this study the alpha was increased to .94. Also, Anderson (1996) tested only a portion of Bandura’s (1977) theory of self-efficacy as it pertains to the social domain. While that study only measured the sources of social self-efficacy, this study sought to see how the SSS related to given outcomes of social self-efficacy (i.e., depression, social anxiety, shyness, and social risk-taking), as well as two criterion measures of social self-efficacy. Results of this study supported Bandura’s theory. Results also provide evidence that the instrument revised as a part of this study (the SSS) shows promise for use in counseling and research settings to measure the antecedents of an individual’s sense of social self-efficacy.</p> 1998 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1225472051 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1225472051 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
