Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Social capital is associated with the enactment of positive health behaviors and health outcomes because it provides people a means to cope with life's stresses. This study asked whether, and to what extent, efficacy beliefs serve as the underlying mechanisms in the relationship between social capital and HIV-prevention behaviors. It provides a first test of the differential predictive ability of two types of efficacy recently explicated by Bandura (2001): personal efficacy and proxy efficacy. It also asks whether the two types of efficacy are differentially associated with HIV-prevention behaviors that are aligned on a continuum ranging from individual action (practicing monogamy) to collective action (use of HIV services). Hypotheses, tested with a sample of Namibians (N = 300), were mostly supported. The role of personal efficacy ranged from r = -.18 (p < .05) for use of HIV services to r = .26 (p < .05) for practicing monogamy.
