What is self Efficacy????

Factors affecting self-efficacy

• Bandura points to four sources affecting self-efficacy;

• 1. Experience – "Mastery experience" is the most important factor deciding a

person's self-efficacy. Simply put, success raises self-efficacy, failure lowers it.

• 2. Modeling - a.k.a. "Vicarious Experience" – “If they can do it, I can do it as well.” This is a process of

comparison between a person and someone else., modeling

Factors affecting self-efficacy

• 3. Social Persuasions – Social persuasions relate to

encouragements/discouragements. These can have a strong influence – most people remember times where something said to them significantly altered their confidence. Where positive persuasions increase self-efficacy, negative persuasions decrease it. It is generally easier to decrease someone's self-efficacy than it is to increase it.

• 4. Physiological Factors – In unusual, stressful situations, people commonly exhibit signs of

distress; shakes, aches and pains, fatigue, fear, nausea, etc. A person's perceptions of these responses can markedly alter a person's self-efficacy.
