Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Self-efficacy refers to an individual's belief in their ability to successfully perform tasks and handle situations in specific domains. In this case, Dave's confidence in his ability to deal with firefighting situations reflects a high level of self-efficacy in that domain. Sensation seeking, drive, and arousal are separate constructs that do not necessarily relate specifically to one's confidence in handling specific situations.
