More quotes by Albert Bandura

Image
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
Image
Ironically, it is the talented who have high aspirations, which are possible but exceedingly difficult to realize, who are especially vulnerable to self-dissatisfaction despite notable achievements.
Albert Bandura
Image
Most of the images of reality on which we base our actions are really based on vicarious experience.
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
The performances of others are often selected as standards for self-improvement of abilities
Albert Bandura
Image
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
Image
We are more heavily invested in the theories of failure than we are in the theories of success.
Albert Bandura
Image
Such self-referent misgivings creates stress and undermine effective use of the competencies people possess by diverting attention from how best to proceed to concern over personal failings and possible mishaps
Albert Bandura
Image
The presence of many interacting influences, including the attainments of others, create further leeway in how one's performances and outcomes are cognitively appraised
Albert Bandura
Image
To grant thought causal efficacy is not to invoke a disembodied mental state
Albert Bandura
Image
A theory that denies that thoughts can regulate actions does not lend itself readily to the explanation of complex human behavior.
Albert Bandura
Image
People’s beliefs about their abilities have a profound effect on those abilities.
Albert Bandura
Image
The effects of outcome expectancies on performance motivation are partly governed by self-beliefs of efficacy
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
Self-appraisals are influenced by evaluative reactions of others.
Albert Bandura
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Self-belief does not necessarily ensure success, but self-disbelief assuredly spawns failure.
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
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
