Effects of a Curriculum Designed to Generalize SelfEfficacy From WeightTraining Exercises to Activities of Daily Living Among Adults With Spinal Injuries

abstract

• This study examined the effects of a special curriculum designed to facilitate generalization of self-efficacy from weight-training exercises to activities of daily living (ADL) among a sample of adults with spinal injuries. Participants (N = 17) were assigned to 1 of 3 groups: (a) a weight-training instruction and self-efficacy generalization group; (b) a weight-training instruction only group; or (c) a control group. The 2 groups that received weight-training instruction received 6 weight-training lessons. The group that also received the self-efficacy generalization curriculum was exposed to techniques designed to generalize self-efficacy. Participants in the group exposed to the self-efficacy generalization curriculum experienced a significantly greater generalization of self-efficacy than did those who received weight-training instruction only and those in the control group.
