SELF EFFICACY Flashcards
a Canadian-American
psychologist
defines self-efficacy as a personal assessment of one’s ability to handle a
given situation based on their skills and
circumstances. An individual’s self-efficacy has a direct impact on their ability to tackle challenges
and make decisions that ultimately affect
the outcome.
ALBERT BANDURA
refers to an individual’s belief in their capability to successfully manage and navigate specific situations. It is a personal evaluation influenced by one’s skills and the context of the situation
SELF EFFICACY
proposes that individuals with high self-efficacy perceive challenges as
chances for personal development and are more likely to approach difficult tasks with
confidence and determination
BANDURA’S THEORY
WHAT ARE THE 4 SOURCES OF SELF EFFICACY
MASTERY EXPERIENCES
SOCIAL MODELING
VERBAL PERSUASION
PSYCHOLOGICAL FEEDBACK
Engaging in challenging tasks and overcoming them builds confidence.
It improves outlook towards difficult tasks. Challenges are seen as
opportunities for growth and development. They are viewed as opportunities to overcome, not threats to avoid.
MASTERY EXPERIENCES
Watching people similar to oneself succeed in
challenging tasks boosts self-efficacy. Conversely, witnessing their failure can dampen
confidence and affect self-efficacy negatively. The perceived similarity of the model plays a
crucial role in the impact of social modeling. When individuals see others like them succeed,
they feel more capable of achieving similar tasks. However, if those similar individuals fail, it may lead to feelings of discouragement and lower self- efficacy.
SOCIAL MODELING
Positive feedback boosts self- efficacy, motivating growth. Parents or mentors aid children, fostering confidence. Negative feedback lowers self- efficacy, causing doubt. Verbal persuasion reassures, boosting confidence. Encouragement from parents or mentors instills resilience.
VERBAAL PERSUASION
Self-efficacy is impacted by psychological, emotional, and physical factors. Reducing stress and anxiety can enhance self-efficacy. Especially beneficial for
those facing anxiety or
depression.
