Albert Bandura
Image
Except for events that carry great weight, it is not experience per se, but how they match expectations, that governs their emotional impact
Albert Bandura
Image
People who believe they have the power to exercise some measure of control over their lives are healthier, more effective and more successful than those who lack faith in their ability to effect changes in their lives.
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
One cannot afford to be a realist.
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
Even noteworthy performance attainments do not necessarily boost perceived self-efficacy
Albert Bandura
Image
Stringent standards of self-evaluation [can] make otherwise objective successes seem to be personal failures
Albert Bandura
Image
