Practice question · True or false

- Efficacy is domain-specific; esteem is global - they can diverge.
Show the answer
True
Why
True. Self-efficacy is specific to a task (public speaking) while self-esteem is a global worth judgment, so the two can diverge freely. This dissociation is exactly why the lesson insists they are not the same concept.
