Is self-efficacy an important predictor of stress and well-being? Why or why not?

Yes, self-efficacy is a very important predictor of stress and well-being.Self-efficacy is an individual's belief that he or she can master a situation and produce positive outcomes.Research has shown that self-efficacy is related to success in a wide variety of positive life changes, including sticking to a New Year's resolution, achieving weight loss, exercising regularly, quitting smoking, ending substance abuse, and practicing safe sex.Self-efficacy influences whether individuals try to develop healthy habits, how much effort they expend in coping with stress, how long they persist in the face of obstacles, and how much stress they experience.If there is a problem to be fixed, self-efficacy-having a can-do attitude-is related to finding a solution.
