More quotes by Albert Bandura

Image
Misbeliefs in one's inefficacy may retard development of the very subskills upon which more complex performances depend
Albert Bandura
Image
Judgments of adequacy involve social comparison processes
Albert Bandura
Image
Even noteworthy performance attainments do not necessarily boost perceived self-efficacy
Albert Bandura
Image
Self-percepts foster actions that generate information, as well as serve as a filtering mechanism for self-referent information in the self-maintaining process
Albert Bandura
Image
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
Image
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
Image
It is widely assumed that beliefs in personal determination of outcomes create a sense of efficacy and power, whereas beliefs that outcomes occur regardless of what one does result in apathy
Albert Bandura
Image
Accomplishment is socially judged by ill defined criteria so that one has to rely on others to find out how one is doing.
Albert Bandura
Image
People judge their capabilities partly by comparing their performances with those of others
Albert Bandura
Image
Agemates provide the most informative points of reference for comparative efficacy appraisal and verification. Children are, therefore, especially sensitive to their relative standing among the peers with whom they affiliate in activities that determine prestige and popularity
Albert Bandura
Image
Measures of self-precept must be tailored to the domain of psychological functioning being explored.
Albert Bandura
Image
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
Image
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
Image
If self-efficacy is lacking, people tend to behave ineffectually, even though they know what to do.
Albert Bandura
Image
One cannot afford to be a realist.
Albert Bandura
Image
For many activities, people cannot rely solely on themselves in evaluating their ability level because such judgments require inferences from probabilistic indicants of talent about which they may have limited knowledge. Self-appraisals are, therefore, partly based on the opinions of others who presumably possess evaluative competence
Albert Bandura
Image
People with high assurance in their capabilities approach difficult tasks as challenges to be mastered rather than as threats to be avoided.
Albert Bandura
Image
Comparative appraisals of efficacy require not only evaluation of ones 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
Image
Because of such conjointedness, behavior that exerts no effect whatsoever on outcomes is developed and consistently performed
Albert Bandura
Image
Very often we developed a better grasp of the subjects than the over worked teachers.
