More quotes by Albert Bandura
Even the self-assured will raise their perceived self-efficacy if models teach them better ways of doing things.
Albert Bandura
Because of such conjointedness, behavior that exerts no effect whatsoever on outcomes is developed and consistently performed
Albert Bandura
Self-doubt creates the impetus for learning but hinders adept use of previously established skills
Albert Bandura
In social cognitive theory, perceived self-efficacy results from diverse sources of information conveyed vicariously and through social evaluation, as well as through direct experience
Albert Bandura
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
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
Forceful actions arising from erroneous beliefs often create social effects that confirm the misbeliefs
Albert Bandura
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
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
It is no more informative to speak of self-efficacy in global terms than to speak of nonspecific social behavior
Albert Bandura
Measures of self-precept must be tailored to the domain of psychological functioning being explored.
Albert Bandura
One cannot afford to be a realist.
Albert Bandura
Very often we developed a better grasp of the subjects than the over worked teachers.
Albert Bandura
People’s beliefs about their abilities have a profound effect on those abilities.
Albert Bandura
A theory that denies that thoughts can regulate actions does not lend itself readily to the explanation of complex human behavior.
Albert Bandura
Perceived self-efficacy and beliefs about the locus of outcome causality must be distinguished
Albert Bandura
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.
Albert Bandura
If self-efficacy is lacking, people tend to behave ineffectually, even though they know what to do.
Albert Bandura
If there is any characteristic that is distinctly human, it is the capability for reflective self-consciousness.
Albert Bandura
Self efficacious children tend to attribute their successes to ability, but ability attributions affect performance indirectly through perceived self-efficacy
