It is possible that one plans and sets goals and yet they still fail. One person pinpointed a person’s belief (or lack thereof) to be the culprit. If there is already doubt in your mind, you cannot achieve your goals. Who is that one person?
Albert Bandura
What does Bandura refer to his ideology?
Self-Efficacy
What are the sources of self efficacy?
Mastery Experiences, Social Modeling, Social Persuasion, and Psychological and Emotional State.
When you do something meaningful and succeed in doing it, this accounts for __________ and it significantly contributes to your sense of personal efficacy. This experience can be as simple as getting good scores in your exam or waking up early in the morning. However, the opposite can happen when you experience failures.
Mastery Experiences
(extra note: simply put, mastery experiences are the experiences we gain when taking on new challenges and succeed, for example, person who does not consider themself to be skilled at cooking may increase their self efficacy by successfully cooking different dishes)
You can also increase or lower personal efficacy through _____________. That is, by learning from others’ experiences
Social Modeling
(extra notes: This is essentially the same as when you see you peer succeed in something and your confidence increases from the idea that if they could do it, so can you)
In a similar vein to social modeling, this can reinforce or diminish your personal efficacy. Allowing significant people in your life to convince you of what you can accomplish can positively influence your self-efficacy
Social Persuasion
Finally, the last source you can tap for self-efficacy is your _____________________. Your mood, whether good or bad can influence your self efficacy. A happy disposition leads to favorable beliefs, therefore, an increase in self-efficacy.
Psychological and Emotional State
Another theory that agrees that belief systems can influence our performance is proposed by: ?
Carol Dweck (2007)
Additional notes: according to her book, mindset can influence success.
According to these two, growth and fixed mindsets create frameworks for perceiving and responding to events surrounding a person. The growth mindset believes that abilities are not fixed.
Dweck and Leggett (Vandewalle, 2012)
This theory does not rule out or shun failure. Instead, it encourages the use of one’s past failures to succeed, that if you do not have a certain ability, you can still train yourself to develop it.
The Growth Mindset Theory
Opposite to the growth mindset, this mindset relies on talents and gifts as the only source of success. One can get stuck with this mindset but nurturing the growth mindset enables us to reach our goals.
The fixed mindset (Yeager and Dweck, 2012)
