Why is it important?
By examining self-efficacy as an outcome, this study adds to existing research on factors that promote positive development of Black male adolescents in urban schools.
Perspectives
This study is critical in showing the social-cognitive strengths Black male adolescents possess as they navigate schools. A next step in this area of research is to understand how other social-cognitive indicators (i.e., resiliency, self-concept, etc.) contribute to the self-confidence of Black male adolescents in school settings.
