The content of most textbooks is perishable, but the tools of self-directedness serve one well over time.
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.

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
Image
[Children] receive direct instruction from time to time about the appropriateness of various social comparisons
Albert Bandura

Albert Bandura
Image

Albert Bandura
Image
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
Image
Self-efficacy is the belief in one's capabilities to organize and execute the sources of action required to manage prospective situations.
Albert Bandura
Image
Accomplishment is socially judged by ill defined criteria so that one has to rely on others to find out how one is doing.
Albert Bandura
Image
Perceived self-efficacy influences the types of causal attributions people make for their performances
Albert Bandura
Image
The adequacy of performance attainments depends upon the personal standards against which they are judged
Albert Bandura
Image
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
Image
In the self-appraisal of efficacy, there are many sources of information that must be processed and weighed through self-referent thought
