What are the 4 components of Banduras theory of self efficacy
1) Performance accomplishments
2) Vicarious experiences
3) Verbal persuasion
4) Emotional arousal
What are performance accomplishments
A performer can be reminded of previous success of the skill which increases confidence. If successful performances are attributed to internal or controllable attributions, this also increases confidence
What are vicarious experiences
Watching another player perform the same skill can raise confidence (especially if they are of a similar standard)
What is verbal persuasion
Positive extrinsic feedback or reinforcement can raise confidence and improve performance
What is emotional arousal
Understanding the signs of increased arousal and knowing that an increase in arousal will not lead to failure and can be controlled -> will increase confidence
What do the 4 models of Banduras theory link to
Efficacy expectations -> athletic performance
What are efficacy expectations
The expectation of the performer to achieve success / their goal
Eg. The gymnast feels that they can achieve a successful vault (following the influence of the 4 components of model)
What is athletic performance?
