People's beliefs about their abilities have a profound effect on those abilities.

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

Psychology cannot tell people ...

Psychology cannot tell people how they ought to live their lives. It can however, provide them with the means for effecting personal and social change.

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

Learning would be exceedingly ...

Learning would be exceedingly laborious, not to mention hazardous, if people had to rely solely on the effects of their own actions to inform them what to do. Fortunately, most human behavior is learned observationally through modeling: from observing others one forms an idea of how new behaviors are performed, and on later occasions this coded information serves as a guide for action.

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

Persons who have a strong sens...

Persons who have a strong sense of efficacy deploy their attention and effort to the demands of the situation and are spurred by obstacles to greater effort.

Very often we developed a better grasp of the subjects than the over worked teachers.

If self-efficacy is lacking, people tend to behave ineffectually, even though they know what to do.

The content of most textbooks is perishable, but the tools of self-directedness serve one well over time.

This has increased with the tremendous technological advances in communications. We have a vast new world of images brought into our sitting rooms electronically. Most of the images of reality on which we base our actions are really based on vicarious experience. This has increased with the tremendous technological advances in communications. We have a vast new world of images brought into our sitting-rooms electronically.

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

Social cognitive theory reject...

Social cognitive theory rejects the dichotomous conception of self as agent and self as object. Acting on the environment and acting on oneself entail shifting the perspective of the same agent rather than reifying different selves regulating each other or transforming the self from agent to object

Gaining insight into one's und...

Gaining insight into one's underlying motives, it seems, is more like a belief conversion than a self-discovery process

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

To grant thought causal effica...

To grant thought causal efficacy is not to invoke a disembodied mental state

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

Dualistic doctrines that regar...

Dualistic doctrines that regard mind and body as separate entities do not provide much enlightenment on the nature of the disembodied mental state or on how an immaterial mind and bodily events act on each other

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

Forceful actions arising from ...

Forceful actions arising from erroneous beliefs often create social effects that confirm the misbeliefs

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

Among the types of thoughts th...

Among the types of thoughts that affect action, none is more central or pervasive than people's judgments of their capabilities to deal effectively with different realities

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

In the self-appraisal of effic...

In the self-appraisal of efficacy, there are many sources of information that must be processed and weighed through self-referent thought

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

The human condition is better ...

The human condition is better improved by altering detrimental circumstances and personal perspectives than by trying to alter personal outlooks, while ignoring the very circumstances that serve to nourish them

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

People's conceptions about the...

People's conceptions about themselves and the nature of things are developed and verified through four different processes: direct experience of the effects produced by their actions, vicarious experience of the effects produced by somebody else's actions, judgments voiced by others, and derivation of further knowledge from what they already know by using rules of inference

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

Through their capacity to mani...

Through their capacity to manipulate symbols and to engage in reflective thought, people can generate novel ideas and innovative actions that transcend their past experiences

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

People regulate their level an...

People regulate their level and distribution of effort in accordance with the effects they expect their actions to have. As a result, their behavior is better predicted from their beliefs than from the actual consequences of their actions

Albert Bandura 123 quotes

Accurate processing of informa...

Accurate processing of information about outcomes is no simple task under the variable conditions of everyday life . . . usually, many factors enter into determining what effects, if any, given actions will have, Actions, therefore, produce outcomes probabilistically rather than certainly. Depending on the particular conjunction of factors, the same course of action may produce given outcomes regularly, occasionally, or only infrequently
