%X Jones and Jolly publish here a null finding, namely that there is zero relationship between family structure and adolescent self-efficacy. However, they do find there is a negative relationship between self-efficacy and income. Low income persons have higher levels of stress than those of higher incomes. The good news in this study is that the correlation between income and self-efficacy is weak.
