“…The important effect of self-efficacy to prevent the presence of risk behaviors has been confirmed (Bandura, 1994;Lindberg, 2000;Palacios, 2015b), identifying the predictors that are presented to reduce the presence of risky sexual behaviors. The evidence found supports the findings of studies that incorporate self-efficacy as precursors of sexual risk behaviors (Cabrera, et al, 2006;Chewning, et al, 2001;Diiorio, et al, 2001;Estrada, et al, 2017;Koniak-Griffin & Stein, 2006;Lindberg, 2000;O'Leary, et al, 2008;Palacios & Parrao, 2010;Sanderson & Yopyk, 2007;Sayles et al, 2006), indicating that adolescents who are more self-efficacious refuse unprotected sex, express confidence in using condoms in their next sexual relationship, are opposed to engaging in risky behaviors that include having multiple sexual partners with sexual risk and having less unprotected sex.…”
