This study examined the effects of perceived task importance on the generality of self-efficacy. To evaluate the generality of self-efficacy, three dependent measures were used: (a) self-efficacy predicting the present performance; (b) future self-efficacy predicting the final performance; and (c) volitional-efficacy measuring volitions, attitudes and interests. The results were as follows: 1. Self-efficacy enhanced based on the performance of an important task instills a more generalized sense of efficacy than on an unimportant task. 2. The perceived importance of the task also effects the generality of volitional efficacy. 3. The tendencies of self-efficacy generality differ between tasks.
