Albert Bandura
The satisfactions people derive from what they do are determined to a large degree by their self-evaluative standards
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
People behave agentically, but they produce theories that afford people very little agency.
Albert Bandura
Humans are producers of their life circumstance not just products of them.
