Image
Perceived self-efficacy influences the types of causal attributions people make for their performances
Albert Bandura

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
Coping with the demands of everyday life would be exceedingly trying if one could arrive at solutions to problems only by actually performing possible options and suffering the consequences.
Albert Bandura
Image
Measures of self-precept must be tailored to the domain of psychological functioning being explored.
Albert Bandura
Image
If self-efficacy is lacking, people tend to behave ineffectually, even though they know what to do.
Albert Bandura
Image
[Attributional] factors serve as conveyors of efficacy information that influence performance largely through their intervening effects on self-percepts of efficacy
Albert Bandura
Image
To grant thought causal efficacy is not to invoke a disembodied mental state
Albert Bandura
Image
Self-appraisals are influenced by evaluative reactions of others.
