When experience contradicts f...

When experience contradicts firmly held judgments of self-efficacy, people may not change their beliefs about themselves if the conditions of performance are such as to lead them to discount the import of the experience

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

Many people who gain recognit...

Many people who gain recognition and fame shape their lives by overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles, only to be catapulted into new social realities over which they have less control and manage badly. Indeed, the annals of the famous and infamous are strewn with individuals who were both architects and victims of their life courses.

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

The satisfactions people deri...

The satisfactions people derive from what they do are determined to a large degree by their self-evaluative standards

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

Given a sufficient level of p...

Given a sufficient level of perceived self-efficacy to take on threatening tasks, phobics perform them with varying amounts of fear arousal depending on the strength of their perceived self-efficacy

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

To the extent that children w...

To the extent that children with similar characteristics achieve comparable performance levels, using the performances of similar peers is likely to yield more accurate self-appraisal than using the accomplishments of dissimilar peers

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

People infer high self-effica...

People infer high self-efficacy from successes achieved through minimal effort on difficult tasks, but they infer low self-efficacy if they had to work hard under favorable conditions to master relatively easy tasks

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

Convictions that outcomes are...

Convictions that outcomes are determined by one's own actions can be either demoralizing or heartening, depending on the level of self-judged efficacy. People who regard outcomes as personally determined, but who lack the requisite skills, would experience low self-efficacy and view the activities with a sense of futility

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

It is no more informative to ...

It is no more informative to speak of self-efficacy in global terms than to speak of nonspecific social behavior

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

Reasonably accurate appraisal...

Reasonably accurate appraisal of one's own capabilities is, therefore, of considerable value in successful functioning. Large misjudgments of personal efficacy in either direction have consequences. People who grossly overestimate their capabilities undertake activities that are clearly beyond their reach. As a result, they get themselves into considerable difficulties, undermine their credibility, and suffer needless failures. Some of the missteps, of course, can produce serious, irreparable harm

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

Comparative appraisals of eff...

Comparative appraisals of efficacy require not only evaluation of one;s own performances but also knowledge of how others do, cognizance of nonability determinants of their performances, and some understanding that it is others, like oneself, who provide the most informative social criterion for comparison

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

From the social cognitive per...

From the social cognitive perspective, it is mainly perceived inefficacy to cope with potentially aversive events that makes them fearsome. To the extent that people believe they can prevent, terminate, or lessen the severity of aversive events, they have little reason to be perturbed by them. But if they believe they are unable to manage threats safely, they have much cause for apprehension.

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

Self-efficacy beliefs differ ...

Self-efficacy beliefs differ from outcome expectations, judgments of the likely consequence [that] behavior will produce.

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

Such knowledge is probably gai...

Such knowledge is probably gained in several ways. One process undoubtedly operates through social comparison of success and failure experiences. Children repeatedly observe their own behavior and the attainments of others

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

A problem of future research i...

A problem of future research is to clarify how young children learn what type of social comparative information is most useful for efficacy evaluation

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

Comparative appraisals of effi...

Comparative appraisals of efficacy require not only evaluation of one;s own performances but also knowledge of how others do, cognizance of nonability determinants of their performances, and some understanding that it is others, like oneself, who provide the most informative social criterion for comparison

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

Self-appraisals of efficacy ar...

Self-appraisals of efficacy are reasonably accurate, but they diverge from action because people do not know fully what they will have to do, lack information for regulating their effort, or are hindered by external factors from doing what they can

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

Behavior must also be adequate...

Behavior must also be adequately assessed under appropriate circumstances. Ill-defined global measures of perceived self-efficacy or defective assessments of performance will yield discordances. Disparities will also arise when efficacy is judged for performances in actual situations but performance is measured in simulated situations that are easier to deal with than the actualities

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

Incongruities between self-eff...

Incongruities between self-efficacy and action may stem from misperceptions of task demands, as well as from faulty self-knowledge

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

When people are not aiming for...

When people are not aiming for anything in particular or when they cannot monitor their performance, there is little basis for translating perceived efficacy into appropriate magnitudes of effort

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

Discrepancies between self-eff...

Discrepancies between self-efficacy judgment and performance will arise when either the tasks or the circumstances under which they are performed are ambiguous
