The research aims to identify the relationship between the attitudes towards behavioral psychology and Self-Efficacy in a sample of (119) male and female students, which was chosen randomly. To achieve the objectives of the research, the attitudes towards behavioral psychology questionnaire developed by the researcher, and a self-efficacy questionnaire developed by Omran (2017) were used. The research reached the following results: 

There was a statistically positive relationship between the scores of a sample in attitudes towards behavioral psychology questionnaire and their scores in self-efficacy questionnaire.

There was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of males and the mean scores of females in attitudes towards behavioral psychology in favor of females, but there was no statistically significant difference between them in self-efficacy.

Attitudes towards behavioral psychology could contribute significantly to the prediction of self-efficacy.
