With intrapersonal determinants, the focus is on the individual and relies on the self-efficacy measure to determine how “confident and capable [the individual is in] performing a certain behavior in a specific situational context” (Marlatt & Witkiewitz, 2005, p. 8). According to Marlatt and Witkiewitz (2005), studies have found that “higher levels of self-efficacy are predictive of improved alcohol treatment outcomes” (p. 9). Measuring self-efficacy has been a challenge and according to Marlatt and Witkiewitz (2005) researchers have “created self-report questionnaires” (p. 9) with the aim of understanding confidence levels in maintaining change behaviors in many situational contexts. A continuing challenge of these self-efficacy questionnaires is that they measure the “context-specific nature of the construct” (Marlatt & Witkiewitz, 2005, p. 9) and cannot account for every high-risk situation that may be faced by the individual.
