The purpose of this study was to review the recent investigations of the self-efficacy. At the same time, the definition of the self-efficacy and the relationship of the self-efficacy with other variables, such as motivation, self-esteem and the locus of control was explored. Moreover, this study is valuable to consider the concept of the self-efficacy at the aspect of the developmental psychology and which kinds of study is required in the future efficacy study.
