Abstract: While there is already evidence positively linking higher levels of self-efficacy with well-being in adolescence, analyses have been of a bivariate or correlational nature. Previous studies have used both general self-efficacy, and a domain-specific approach. The present study operationalises three domains of self-efficacy (academic, social, and emotional), in a domain specific way, and additionally, examines how clusters, derived from scores on these domains relate to well-being.
