More quotes by Albert Bandura
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
Perceived self-efficacy in coping with potential threats leads people to approach such situations anxiously, and experience of disruptive arousal may further lower their sense of efficacy that they will be able to perform skillfully
Albert Bandura
Self-efficacy is the belief in one's capabilities to organize and execute the sources of action required to manage prospective situations.
Albert Bandura
Freedom [should not be] conceived negatively as exemption from social influences or situational constraints. Rather...positively as the exercise of self-influence to bring about desired results.
Albert Bandura
Judgments of adequacy involve social comparison processes
Albert Bandura
Discrepancies between self-efficacy judgment and performance will arise when either the tasks or the circumstances under which they are performed are ambiguous
Albert Bandura
Because of such conjointedness, behavior that exerts no effect whatsoever on outcomes is developed and consistently performed
Albert Bandura
As a general rule, moderate levels of arousal facilitate deployment of skills, whereas high arousal disrupts it. This is especially true of complex activities requiring intricate organization of behavior
Albert Bandura
Perceived self-efficacy influences the types of causal attributions people make for their performances
Albert Bandura
[Attributional] factors serve as conveyors of efficacy information that influence performance largely through their intervening effects on self-percepts of efficacy
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
How children learn to use diverse sources of efficacy information in developing a stable and accurate sense of personal efficacy is a matter of considerable interest
Albert Bandura
We are more heavily invested in the theories of failure than we are in the theories of success.
Albert Bandura
After people become convinced they have what it takes to succeed, they persevere in the face of adversity and quickly rebound from setbacks. By sticking it out through tough times, they emerge stronger from adversity.
Albert Bandura
One cannot afford to be a realist.
Albert Bandura
Moreover, joint occurrences tend to be better recalled than instances when the effect does not occur. The proneness to remember confirming instances, but to overlook disconfirming ones, further serves to convert, in thought, coincidences into causalities.
Albert Bandura
Perceived self-efficacy also shapes causal thinking. In seeking solutions to difficult problems, those who perceived themselves as highly efficacious are inclined to attribute their failures to insufficient effort, whereas those of comparable skills but lower perceived self-efficacy ascribe their failures to deficient ability
Albert Bandura
Gaining insight into one's underlying motives, it seems, is more like a belief conversion than a self-discovery process
Albert Bandura
Stringent standards of self-evaluation [can] make otherwise objective successes seem to be personal failures
Albert Bandura
In the self-appraisal of efficacy, there are many sources of information that must be processed and weighed through self-referent thought
Albert Bandura
