Brief Summary
|
Aim: To find out the association
between Self-Efficacy and LOC and their impact on an individual’s Propensity to
Trust, explained by the Barnum effect. Objective: To explore the relationship between Self-Efficacy and LOC and
Propensity to Trust among in adults.
Justification for study: Existing
literature does not adequately address how Self-efficacy and Locus of Control
influence an individual’s propensity to trust. Exploring these factors can help
to inform educational strategies aimed at enhancing self-efficacy and fostering
internal locus of control. This would help individuals improve self-evaluation
of personal development and academic performance objectively. Studying Barnum
effect can help assess how beliefs about oneself and perceived competence can
affect evaluation of external cues. There is some controversy within the
studies regarding the link between Self-Efficacy and Locus of Control and how they
interact to influence the susceptibility to Barnum effect. This research aligns with SDG 3: Good Health
and Well-Being. As it is aimed at promoting mental health and interpersonal
trust.Procedure: The participants will be providing online
consent in the Google forms, and their confidentiality will be assured
throughout the process. The participants are requested to fill in
sociodemographic details in the initial section. Individuals who fulfil the
inclusion criteria alone will proceed to fill in the remainder of the
questionnaires such as the ‘General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE),’ Locus of
Control Scale’ (LOC) and Propensity to Trust Scale.Identifiers
like name, contact number and email ID will not be obtained from the
participants to maintain confidentiality. The
data will then be analyzed for statistical significance.
