The study utilized hierarchical multiple regression to evaluate the predictive power of General Self-Efficacy (GSE) on cognitive ability, specifically Number Fluency (NF), while controlling for age and gender. The results indicated that age was a significant predictor of NF scores, while GSE did not contribute additional explanatory power after accounting for age and gender. Consequently, the hypotheses regarding GSE's predictive ability were rejected, but the hypothesis concerning age's influence was supported.

Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used to assess the ability of GSE to predict levels of

cognitive ability measured by Number fluency (NF) test after controlling for the influence of age and

gender. Preliminary analyses were conducted to ensure no violation of the assumptions of

normality, linearity, multicollinearity and homoscedasticity (Appendix C).

Age and gender were entered at Step 1, explaining 10% of the variance in NF test scores.

After entry of the GSE scale at Step 2, the total variance explained by the model as a whole was 11%,

F (3, 147) = 5.78, p < .001. This additional variable did not explain any additional variance in NF test

scores after controlling for age and gender, R squared change = .00, F change (1, 147) = .42, p = .52.

In the final model, only two predictor variables were statistically significant with the age

recording a higher semi-partial correlation value (sr = -.24, p < .00) than gender (sr = .23, p < .00).

Therefore, H10 and H20 can be rejected and their alternatives accepted. However, H30 cannot be

rejected.
