More quotes by Albert Bandura
Persons who have a strong sense of efficacy deploy their attention and effort to the demands of the situation and are spurred by obstacles to greater effort.

The effects of outcome expectancies on performance motivation are partly governed by self-beliefs of efficacy
Albert Bandura
In order to succeed, people need a sense of self-efficacy, to struggle together with resilience to meet the inevitable obstacles and inequities of life.
Albert Bandura
Measures of self-precept must be tailored to the domain of psychological functioning being explored.
Albert Bandura
People judge their capabilities partly by comparing their performances with those of others
Albert Bandura
In social cognitive theory, perceived self-efficacy results from diverse sources of information conveyed vicariously and through social evaluation, as well as through direct experience
Albert Bandura
[Attributional] factors serve as conveyors of efficacy information that influence performance largely through their intervening effects on self-percepts of efficacy
Albert Bandura
Once established, reputations do not easily change.
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
