In this study, we tested a predictive model for young people's self-efficacy beliefs regarding adult roles to identify their resources and resources of their contexts in the transition to adulthood. Participants were 434 young men and women (aged between 18 and 29 years) from the State of Rio de Janeiro. The instruments used were: Self-efficacy Scale regarding Adult Roles; Social Skills Inventory; Intergenerational Solidarity Index; Inventory of Emerging Adulthood Dimensions; Brazilian Economic Classification Criteria. Results indicated that the variables as gender, self-focus, instability, family values, and expressing positive feelings predicted young people’s self-efficacy beliefs. We discuss the implications of these results for research on evaluation and intervention.
