The present investigation analyzed the relationship between the levels of Self efficacy that students of the bachelor´s degree on Psychology have and the Coping Styles that they use to face internal or external requests. A sample of 126 students was selected. They were given the General Self Efficacy Scale, the Coping Strategies Questionnaire and a social demographic questionnaire. The results show that those students that have more Self-efficacy use the Coping Strategy focused on solving the problem and Positive reappraisal. On the other hand, students that have lower Self-efficacy levels use the Negative self-blameway of coping with stress.
