SELF-EFFICACY

Bandura defines self-efficacy as:

peoples beliefs about their capabilities to

produce designated levels of performance

that exercise influence over events that

affect their lives.

Self-efficacy beliefs determine how peoplefeel, think, motivate themselves and behave.


11/23

SELF-EFFICACY

According to Bandura, a strong sense of

efficacy allows people to:approach difficult tasks as challenges to be mastered rather than as

threats to be avoided.

set themselves challenging goals and maintain strong commitment to

them.

heighten and sustain their efforts in the face of failure.

attribute failure to insufficient effort or deficient knowledge and skills

which are acquirable.

approach threatening situations with assurance that they can exercise

control over them.

SELF-EFFICACY

The Generalized Self-Efficacy (GSE) Scale

a 10-item psychometric scale that is designed to assess optimistic self-beliefs to cope with a

variety of difficult demands in life. It explicitly relates to personal agency: the belief that

ones actions are responsible for successful outcomes.

I can always manage to solve difficult problems if I try hard enough

If someone opposes me, I can find the means and ways to get what I want

It is easy for me to stick to my aims and accomplish my goals

I am confident that I could deal efficiently with unexpected events

Thanks to my resourcefulness, I know how to handle unforeseen situations

I can solve most problems if I invest the necessary effort

I can remain calm when facing difficulties because I can rely on my coping abilities

When I am confronted with a problem, I can usually find several solutions

If I am in trouble, I can usually think of a solution

I can usually handle whatever comes my way
