More quotes by Albert Bandura
To grant thought causal efficacy is not to invoke a disembodied mental state
Albert Bandura
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
Self-efficacy is the belief in one's capabilities to organize and execute the sources of action required to manage prospective situations.
Albert Bandura
Gaining insight into one's underlying motives, it seems, is more like a belief conversion than a self-discovery process
Albert Bandura
People who hold a low view of themselves [will credit] their achievements to external factors, rather than to their own capabilities.
Albert Bandura
The content of most textbooks is perishable, but the tools of self-directedness serve one well over time.
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
If there is any characteristic that is distinctly human, it is the capability for reflective self-consciousness.
Albert Bandura
People regulate their level and distribution of effort in accordance with the effects they expect their actions to have. As a result, their behavior is better predicted from their beliefs than from the actual consequences of their actions
Albert Bandura
Regression analyses show that self-efficacy contributes to achievement behavior beyond the effects of cognitive skills
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
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
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
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
Because of such conjointedness, behavior that exerts no effect whatsoever on outcomes is developed and consistently performed
Albert Bandura
Even noteworthy performance attainments do not necessarily boost perceived self-efficacy
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
Self-doubt creates the impetus for learning but hinders adept use of previously established skills
Albert Bandura
People behave agentically, but they produce theories that afford people very little agency.
Albert Bandura
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
