The General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) is designed to assess a general sense of perceived self-efficacy with the aim to predict coping with daily hassles as well as adaptation after experiencing all kinds of stressful life events. Research supports that self-efficacy, as measured by the GSE, is a global construct rather than being culturally specific, and it typically shows positive correlations with work satisfaction and negative correlations with depression, contrary to options B and C.
