More quotes by Albert Bandura

Image
The effects of outcome expectancies on performance motivation are partly governed by self-beliefs of efficacy
Albert Bandura
Image
Success and failure are largely self-defined in terms of personal standards. The higher the self-standards, the more likely will given attainments be viewed as failures, regardless of what others might think.
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
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

One cannot afford to be a realist.
Albert Bandura

Albert Bandura
Image
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
Image
Indeed there are many competent people who are plagued by a sense of inefficacy, and many less competent ones who remain unperturbed by impending threats because they are self-assured of their coping capabilities
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
Albert Bandura
Image
People not only gain understanding through reflection, they evaluate and alter their own thinking.
Albert Bandura
Image
It is no more informative to speak of self-efficacy in global terms than to speak of nonspecific social behavior
Albert Bandura
Image
Humans are producers of their life circumstance not just products of them.
Albert Bandura
Image
People judge their capabilities partly by comparing their performances with those of others
Albert Bandura
Image
The evaluative habits developed in sibling interactions undoubtedly affect the salience and choice of comparative referents in self-ability evaluations in later life
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
We are more heavily invested in the theories of failure than we are in the theories of success.
Albert Bandura
Image
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.
