What is bandura’s theory of self efficacy
-Self confidence can be specific to a particular situation
-Self-efficacy can vary from situation to situation and can affect performance
E.g. of banduras theory
If someone expects to be confident in a specific situation,they are more likely to choose that activity
What are the 4 types of information our expectations of self-efficacy depend upon
- Performance accomplishments (e.g. past experiences)
- Vicarious experiences(e.g.modelling by others)
- Social persuasion(e.g. coaching feedback)
- Physiological and emotional states
Raising self-efficacy
- Ensure success to start with(e.g. high jump and start with bar low)
- Demonstrate using someone with the same ability level
- Verbal encouragement
- Explain that is natural to be worried,which prepares the body
Bandura suggested people with high self efficacy
- Seek challenges - approach behaviour
- Attribute success to internal factors such as ability and effort.
- The above would elevate confidence and increase expectation of success in next challenge.
Bandura suggested people with low self efficacy
- Adopt avoidance behaviour
- Give up easily and become anxious when task is difficult
- They attribute failure to internal factors
- The above would decrease confidence and reduce expectation of success in next challenge and introduce learned helplessness.
