"This volume...captures the spirit of the changing 1990s and comes at just the right time...offers many riches that cannot be found together in any other source. It should be of great interest not only to those concerned with self-efficacy theory and related models but to anyone concerned with how we adapt to social change." Contemporary Psychology
