More quotes by Albert Bandura
Incongruities between self-efficacy and action may stem from misperceptions of task demands, as well as from faulty self-knowledge
Albert Bandura
People regulate their level and distribution of effort in accordance with the effects they expect their actions to have. As a result, their behavior is better predicted from their beliefs than from the actual consequences of their actions
Albert Bandura
The satisfactions people derive from what they do are determined to a large degree by their self-evaluative standards
Albert Bandura
If self-efficacy is lacking, people tend to behave ineffectually, even though they know what to do.
Albert Bandura
To the extent that children with similar characteristics achieve comparable performance levels, using the performances of similar peers is likely to yield more accurate self-appraisal than using the accomplishments of dissimilar peers
Albert Bandura
The presence of many interacting influences, including the attainments of others, create further leeway in how one's performances and outcomes are cognitively appraised
Albert Bandura
What people think, believe, and feel affects how they behave. The natural and extrinsic effects of their actions, in turn, partly determine their thought patterns and affective reactions.
Albert Bandura
People behave agentically, but they produce theories that afford people very little agency.
Albert Bandura

Albert Bandura
Agemates provide the most informative points of reference for comparative efficacy appraisal and verification. Children are, therefore, especially sensitive to their relative standing among the peers with whom they affiliate in activities that determine prestige and popularity
Albert Bandura
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
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
Albert Bandura
After people become convinced they have what it takes to succeed, they persevere in the face of adversity and quickly rebound from setbacks. By sticking it out through tough times, they emerge stronger from adversity.
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
To grant thought causal efficacy is not to invoke a disembodied mental state
Albert Bandura
Perceived self-efficacy and beliefs about the locus of outcome causality must be distinguished
Albert Bandura
Even noteworthy performance attainments do not necessarily boost perceived self-efficacy
Albert Bandura
Perceived self-efficacy influences the types of causal attributions people make for their performances
Albert Bandura
Stringent standards of self-evaluation [can] make otherwise objective successes seem to be personal failures
Albert Bandura
Dualistic doctrines that regard mind and body as separate entities do not provide much enlightenment on the nature of the disembodied mental state or on how an immaterial mind and bodily events act on each other
Albert Bandura
