A self-efficacy scale, developed by Lawrence, Levy, & Rubinson (1990), which deals with sexual and drug behavior important with regard to the HIV/AIDS virus, was used with 427 university students. Comparisons were made for race, marital status, and educational level, as well as looking at overall self-efficacy for such things as asking new sexual partners about how many people they have had sex with, using condoms, sharing a needle when using drugs, and other important questions. Students were fairly good at discussing sexual behavior with partners and using condoms with a new partner. Their self-efficacy varied according to the different behaviors, being better in some areas than in others. Generally, self-efficacy increased as educational level increased, and if the students were married as opposed to being single. For race, white vs. other (predominantly blacks) showed little difference. Thus, black college students tended to be just as high as whites in self-efficacy on AIDS-related issues
