More quotes by Albert Bandura

Image
The performances of others are often selected as standards for self-improvement of abilities
Albert Bandura
Image
Comparative appraisals of efficacy require not only evaluation of ones own performances but also knowledge of how others do, cognizance of nonability determinants of their performances, and some understanding that it is others, like oneself, who provide the most informative social criterion for comparison
Albert Bandura
Image
Because of such conjointedness, behavior that exerts no effect whatsoever on outcomes is developed and consistently performed
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
The content of most textbooks is perishable, but the tools of self-directedness serve one well over time.
Albert Bandura
Image
Judgments of adequacy involve social comparison processes
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
Perceived self-efficacy and beliefs about the locus of outcome causality must be distinguished
Albert Bandura
Image
Students judge how well they might do in a chemistry course from knowing how peers, who performed comparably to them in physics, fared in chemistry
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
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
In any given instance, behavior can be predicted best by considering both self-efficacy and outcome beliefs . . . different patterns of self-efficacy and outcome beliefs are likely to produce different psychological effects
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
Incongruities between self-efficacy and action may stem from misperceptions of task demands, as well as from faulty self-knowledge
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 effects of outcome expectancies on performance motivation are partly governed by self-beliefs of efficacy
Albert Bandura
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Misbeliefs in one's inefficacy may retard development of the very subskills upon which more complex performances depend
Albert Bandura
Image
Perceived self-efficacy influences the types of causal attributions people make for their performances
Albert Bandura
