Abstract

We examined how trait self-efficacy and state self-efficacy levels and variability predict depression and anxiety. An analysis of ESM data from 1,421 undergraduates found that depression and anxiety were negatively predicted by trait and state self-efficacy levels, and positively predicted by state self-efficacy variability.
