Self‐Efficacy Moderates the Impact of Stressful Events on Headache
Abstract
A positive correlation between the frequency of headache and the frequency of stressful events was demonstrated in a sample of 114 headache sufferers. The strength of this relationship was shown to be moderated by the level of self-efficacy, defined as the individual's perceived capacity to exercise self-control over their cognitive, behavioral, and affective responses to stressful events. The relationship between stressful events and headache was strongest for subjects low in self-efficacy and became progressively weaker as self-efficacy increased. It was concluded that self-efficacy may be an important psychological resource buffering the impact of stress on the frequency of headache. Theoretical implications and indications for further research are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
