More quotes by Albert Bandura
Regression analyses show that self-efficacy contributes to achievement behavior beyond the effects of cognitive skills
Albert Bandura
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
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
Self-doubt creates the impetus for learning but hinders adept use of previously established skills
Albert Bandura
When actions are followed by events that are not causally related to the prior acts, people often erroneously perceive contingencies that do not, in fact, exist
Albert Bandura
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

Albert Bandura
If self-efficacy is lacking, people tend to behave ineffectually, even though they know what to do.
Albert Bandura
The content of most textbooks is perishable, but the tools of self-directedness serve one well over time.
Albert Bandura
To grant thought causal efficacy is not to invoke a disembodied mental state
Albert Bandura
People who regard themselves as highly efficacious act, think, and feel differently from those who perceive themselves as inefficacious. They produce their own future, rather than simply foretell it.
Albert Bandura
Very often we developed a better grasp of the subjects than the over worked teachers.
Albert Bandura
The human condition is better improved by altering detrimental circumstances and personal perspectives than by trying to alter personal outlooks, while ignoring the very circumstances that serve to nourish them
Albert Bandura
One cannot afford to be a realist.
Albert Bandura
If you look at our theories of social pathology and then at the dismal conditions in which children grow up in our ghettos, you would predict that all of them would be on drugs or psychological basket cases. Yet if you use criteria like gainful employment, forming partnerships and life without crime, you will find that most of those kids make it.
Albert Bandura
Self-appraisals are influenced by evaluative reactions of others.
Albert Bandura
Because of such conjointedness, behavior that exerts no effect whatsoever on outcomes is developed and consistently performed
Albert Bandura
The performances of others are often selected as standards for self-improvement of abilities
Albert Bandura
Even the self-assured will raise their perceived self-efficacy if models teach them better ways of doing things.
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
