Perceived Self-efficacy Influences The Types Of Causal

Because Of Such Conjointedness, Behavior That Exerts No Effect Whatsoever On Outcomes Is Developed And Consistently Performed

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

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

Learning Would Be Exceedingly Laborious, Not To Mention Hazardous, If People Had To Rely Solely On The Effects Of Their Own Actions To Inform Them What To Do. Fortunately, Most Human Behavior Is Learned Observationally Through Modeling: From Observing Others One Forms An Idea Of How New Behaviors Are Performed, And On Later Occasions This Coded Information Serves As A Guide For Action.
