Given A Sufficient Level Of Perceived Self-efficacy

Students Judge How Well They Might Do In A Chemistry Course From Knowing How Peers, Who Performed Comparably To Them In Physics, Fared In Chemistry

People Judge Their Capabilities Partly By Comparing Their Performances With Those Of Others

Given A Sufficient Level Of Perceived Self-efficacy To Take On Threatening Tasks, Phobics Perform Them With Varying Amounts Of Fear Arousal Depending On The Strength Of Their Perceived Self-efficacy

People Who Underestimate Their Capabilities Also Bear Costs, Although, As Already Noted, These Are More Likely To Take Self-limiting Rather Than Aversive Forms. By Failing To Cultivate Personal Potentialities And Constricting Their Activities, Such Persons Cut Themselves Off From Many Rewarding Experiences. Should They Attempt Tasks Having Evaluative Significance, They Create Internal Obstacles To Effective Performance By Approaching Them With Unnerving Self-doubts

People Not Only Gain Understanding Through Reflection, They Evaluate And Alter Their Own Thinking.
